You've ruled out Moorabbin so there goes my suggestion!
If your going to try Essendon, try Pearson. A mate went there and reckoned it was pretty good.
Avalon does not have any GA schools so you can take that off your list.
Theres an aero club at Point Cook. Another mate went there, said it was good too- he's now on a Herc in the RAAF.
Not sure on places like Geelong/Barwon/bacchus etc, but im confident in saying that there would be at least one or two places to learn out of that selection of places.
The most important thing for you to do is go and see potential schools and talk to them, see what is on offer and how you feel with them. When you get down to say, 2, a Trial Flight with each might make your mind up for you.
Remember, you are the customer purchasing their product. You have to be satisfied how your money is being spent! You have to be comfortable with whereever you are flying and not feel as though you are being overly pushed.
If there are any specifics, just ask away and i'm sure we can help you out somehow!
