Where I used to live...probably bortle 8, but an hour or so of driving southwest would get me to a 4, maybe 3 site (hard to tell from the descriptions on wikipedia). There are also a limited number of dark sky reserves, in more remote locations (relatively!)... in a country only a little over half the area of the state of Victoria, there are almost 55 million people crammed in, so remote has a different meaning
Of course, the bigger problem is the weather... can't see anything through the clouds
Anyway, how great is it to have such darkness on our doorstep here, using the term relatively again
