Sydney (urban) area is pretty congested and I feel that he would probably get more air time (vs time spent sitting on the ground waiting for a break in the traffic...and paying for it!!) by looking at flying schools based on the coast north and south of Steak and Kidney eg. Taree, Forster-Tuncurry and Port Macquarie, to the north, and Wollongong and Merimbula to the south.
He might even want to have a go at hang gliding down around Wollongong.
