Question To CPL or not to CPL? And and where??

Hi all,

Please be easy on me - I'm new here...

I have had my PPL for about 6 years now but haven't done much with it unfortunately - I always find it more prudent to save money towards something else than go and enjoy myself flying. My passion for flying hasn't diminished though, and nothing in the world gives me more enjoyment than a few circiuts, or a trip over the Snowies (yes, simple pleasures, I know). I have always wanted to fly commercially, but my brain tends to over-ride my heart, and instead I have spent the last 8 years getting 2 degrees, and starting up a business. I want to get back into it now...

Am I too old at the age of nearly 26 to do a CPL part time and hope to get into the industry afterwards?

I'm currently in Canberra, where we are now left with only 1 flying school. Should I be looking elsewhere? Are Goulburn, Temora, or any other nearby towns serious options?

Your thoughts are much appreciated!
