So yes, when I lived in the Europe one of the joys of coming back to Oz for holidays was that you can actually see stars. Even inside a big city, the nights tend to be clearer than in Europe and the light "pollution" more limited.

That said, I've never seen the Milky Way.

I probably could if I went out somewhere far from the city, but I can't remember ever actually seeing it, even when doing star-gazing at school camp.

I'm really shocked to hear that. I feel like it's a certainty any night in Oz when it's not cloudy.

I'm 30 and until a few years back I thought the pictures with the milky way showing were fake.
