HI Peter,
if you join the ASV Astronomical Society of Victoria, joining fee about $80, something like that
they have a dark sky site at Heathcote, plus monthly Deep Sky meet up
you can look through their 25 inch Obsession up there, as well as several peoples other scopes, as usually several people turn up with their gear
just being able to use their Dark Sky Site site is well worth the membership anyway
bit closer to Melbourne too
cheers Julian
