Leigh,
VK4EDD, when he was in SE VK4 (now in Broken Hill), was on the eastern side of the Great Dividing Range along with everyone in QG61, 62 or 63... for the best chance you need to find active stations located in QG51, 52 or 53.
Adrian VK4OX, whilst also on the eastern side of the range, has altitude advantage to most other stations (his altitude is 5X higher than my ASL for example), and at times will 'sneak' into the mix.
Availability is also key as you alluded. And unfortunately, the majority of active SE VK4 VHF DXers are still actively working... so timing of events outside of working hours is always going to be an issue [emoji6]
