To get any where reasonable, you probably have to drive about an hour or so away from Brisbane (at least).

If you check this forum: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/f...splay.php?f=16 you'll see some locals offer access to their properties for new moon nights. Their locations might lead you to similar areas you could use as well.

Cambroon and 10 Chain Hill observatories located north of Brisbane open their doors regularly for people to come and observe and image on their grounds.
