Hmmmmm! Don't know where you guys did your initial CIR or where you do your renewals, but I gotta say that this subject was well covered in my initial training and has been revisited at each of my 26 renewals. Something I think about on every IFR departure! I have been into most of the licenced aerodromes in Qld and can't think of any where this poses a great challenge.
eg How do you depart Innisfail for Mareeba - MSA is 6500 due to Qld's highest mountain?

PS: As for departing 15 at YBCS on a visual departure clearance with a right hand turn and climb into cloud - well, what can be said! There is a really obvious reason why the usual SID is an immediate left turn and climb out over the sea.
