Back in 2005 I took a trip to New Zealand for a couple months. Once of the places I stayed many times during the trip was Stewart Island [0]. The house I stayed at was on the shore of Horseshoe Bay, I don't know where on the scale of "darkness quality" it fell, but the sky was ablaze with stellar objects the like of which I'd not seen for many years.
At night we'd sit on the beach at around midnight looking up at a sky that was truly mind bending to behold. Also because this was my first ever trip to the southern hemisphere the sky looked totally alien. I'll never forget those nights.
