Nah GG all but 20 of that is in OZ.

Perhaps up north over the ice cream (sorry) you get more overcast up in the flight levels (genuine question)?

Down in the south east the 99% of the cloud is below 10k, so in the cruise the night is usually quite starry and whilst you couldn't necessarily fly just by looking outside you definitely have a cue if the aircraft begins to pitch, roll, or yaw, which, even if only picked up by the peripheral vision, adds to the scan and makes flying easier than what it would be in a true black hole under overcast.
