So the first expense is a dark-sky site. You might look around Meekatharra or Mt Magnet, though if you are worried about future light pollution from the SKA you might opt for the northern Flinders Ranges. I believe these were the other two areas on the short-list when the site for the AAT was chosen.
BTW when considering an 'imaging rig' don't you need to identify the targets? Are you after tiny little galaxies or great swathes of milky way or planets.
