It was first quarter Moon so it was a bit hard to gauge the darkness of the sky, although, I would think that when there's no Moon around that the skies would be reasonable, but, not anything special. There's also really bad glow from Sydney which is just 40-odd km away.

I emailed it to a friend of mine who then posted it on Facebook.

I used to run up Mount Taylor here in Canberra every second day and after a while I got quite fit. I haven't done any training in almost a year since I had tendinitis and have put on weight since then. As a result, the climb up the track was moderately difficult. I would imagine anyone who is in any decent fitness would find it a doddle. I was also carrying quite a lot of gear, had thongs on and a heavy jacket which added to the effort! I need to get fit again!

Thongs I can see perhaps why you struggled

I was in the area a few weeks ago, never seen so many rabbits!

I'm currently training both physically and photographically for the Pyranees in December when I go back to the Basque Country to visit my family, I'm hoping I can do the mountains and the coastline some justice while I'm there.

Thanks Stephen, absolutely give it a go I think once you've taken one you'll never stop, plus it's a great addition to your swag of tricks, now you can capture virtually any view!
