howdy,
I'm a big fan of the Flinders and have spent quite a bit of time up there. The best time of year is winter when there is no dust in the sky. It's damn cold though but worth it. Last year I went up to Arkaroola, another fave place, in January and was totally clouded in for the whole week. That was a waste of lens hire. Strangely enough I've found the darkest skies in SA, for me, to be the coast around Victor Harbor and back towards Cape Jervis, looking out to south. I've done several timelapse shots, during winter, which have been darker than what I've done in the Flinders.
Other who have spent more time doing actual astronomy may have some more clues. But I think the bottom line is that Winter is always going to be better and the further north means less cloud.
Hope this helps,
Steve R.
