Go west! :-)

The western suburbs and beyond lie on a basalt plain.  There's alo a number
of small hills that you can use for a bit of elevation.

If yu put one end on a mountain  (You Yangs, Mt Macedon, Mt Ridley, etc),
you can get in excess of 50km LOS to play with.  I've done radio contesting
from Mt Macedon (55km NW Melb) and Mt Ridley (30km N), with excellent
results (including some "where the hell are you" reports?).
