Yesterday, I started taking flying lessons for my Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL) with Central Cost Aero Club at Warnervale airport, NSW. To be more precise, it was actually second lesson, I took first one 2 years ago with the same fly school. My very first trial flight (not lesson) was at Camden Airport from adrenaline.com.au but it was pretty good but too far from my place. Decided to go with Warnervale rather than with one of Bankstown's schools because I like country side and prefer driving to airport on freeway rather than through road traffic of Sydney's suburbs. Another advantage which CCAC instructor mentioned is that at Warnervale you start doing your air exercises straight after take off however at Bankstown plane needs to go to training area first which take time. Did not check out if it is the case yet but sounds like valid point. I'm planning to get my licence within about 1 year. Let see how it goes.... I will keep you posted.
