Best night sky I have seen in Oz was from near Nimmitabel - east of Cooma heading to Bega but still in the high country on top of the range. 20 years ago but still remember as absolutely jaw dropping. Wife and I stopped for 2 mins for a smoke which ended up lasting an hour - would have been longer but we were expected by relatives in Tura Beach.

Swear I could see colour in the Milky Way - probaly couldnt but the memeory is vivid.

ps I get jealous every time I see Omaroo's tag line and think of the Cooma sky versus down town Perth

Not directly relevant to the query, but if you enroll at ANU you are not far from that part of Oz.
