My approach
Hello,
I normally load up the dark sky map for a light pollution layer and a separate window for the contour map opened to the same area. Good old google maps to check the roads etc.
You can normally tell where the light pollution is coming from, so find a valley or a hill that can shield you as well as being away from the source.
Always check the site prior to the night, check for burnt car bodies, smashed bottles, if it has lighting, security patrols etc.

Ps. I'd try up around Ben Boyd road myself, 20mins out of town. But anywhere up out of the coastal plain away from town really with a few hills in between.
