Comment Finding a dark place to view the sky (Score 2, Informative) 86
The International Dark-Sky Association has a cool Dark Sky Finder on their website. Sorry Australia, it's just for the U.S.
You can click on a spot on the map, and it will find the darkest locations within 60 miles. They used census data to estimate the amount of light pollution in a given area based on population, so it might be a good idea to do a sanity check before heading out somewhere in the middle of the night.
Happy viewing!
