Dunk, there are quite a few IISers live in the northwest of Sydney - the area around the Baulkham Hills label on the map. I can think of at least five within 10km of me. I'm only one house removed from a busy road and got an SQM reading of 19.44 at the zenith two nights ago. ASNSW's Crago observatory is about 45 min drive away.
There are a couple of drawbacks:
1. transport to the CBD is not ideal. Either bus, or drive to rail or to the city.
2. it isn't a cheap place to live.
If you go further north or west it gets darker but owning your own vehicle becomes essential.
