http://www.lightpollutionmap.info http://www.lightpollutionmap.info has much higher resolution data, down to tens of metres. You can also choose the dataset by year - choose the "VIIRS 2017 March" dataset for the best detail. Data comes from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) satellite [1].
For example, with the extra resolution I managed to find a dark patch near the train line in between Waterfall station and Helensburgh south of Sydney - the darkest sky until you go far past Wollongong.

- rkagerer 9y agoIs there a reason they default to the 2015 dataset instead of the 2017 dataset? Is it more complete?
