I can't comment any of the schools at Camden, but if it's worth anything, I went to Basair to get my PPL and found them to be very professional. They've got a good range of planes available and the instructors are top class.

I spoke to a couple of the students on their CPL at the time and they seemed to be very happy with their training. One thing to note that I found a little strange though was that they were completing their CPL training before their ATPLs. I'm not sure if this is simply a CASA thing or whether it was simply Basair's structure.

I love the fact it had three runways, made it alot more exciting when turning onto finals, lots of practice making sure your're keeping to that centreline!!

The school itself is quite small, they've got four classrooms if memory serves me, a main reception room and a pre-flight area with a couple of terminals for getting weather etc.

For info, CASA NSW is located at Bankstown aswell as I had my license given to me there (they produced it in a couple of hours!).

I found the level of training to be of a high standard and a good grounding for moving back to the UK.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,
