wannaflyrightnow,
If you are doing the whole gammet to cpl then maybe setting yourself up at a school in essendon is not such a bad idea. I did my ppl training with "Wings " years ago, it made for an excellent training enviroment useful for later on. Although Wings dont's exist anymore so i can't recommend them? Myself, i did my GFPT at Bacchus Marsh, you get great circuit experience with go-arounds (Gliders) the field has good cross runways and the training area is huge, pretty well all the way to ballarat, hope this helps
