PPL - In Melbourne

[Andrew M]

So I have now had 2 "introduction" flights and have decided that I would like to obtain my PPL.

Any recommendations on what to look out for and any recommended operators to go through?

Essendon is closer, but reading PPrune it appears that it's not the best location to learn due to traffic and that the "circuit" is a 20 min flight away so you waste time and $$ flying to the training area.

Any advice/comments/feedback most welcome!
