Trial introductory flight for the larger gentleman?

Hi gents, apologies if this is in the wrong place. In all my searching, this appeared to be one of the more knowledgeable aviation forums specific to Australia.

My issue is this: I want to fly a plane. I've been looking around and contacted quite a number of places to do a trial flight but they all seem to have a blanket ban on anyone over 6' and 100kg. I'm personally a bit over 6'5" and approximately 145kg. Can anyone recommend a flight school in Melbourne that could accommodate me? Or do I need to just admit defeat and accept it's not for me?

Just to add a bit of context, I'm looking to do a trial flight to gauge my own interest in it, not set on going for a license or anything of that nature just yet.

Cheers, Ben.
