Mae has it spot on. There ain't no such animal as MBZ's anymore and the rules on operating at uncontrolled (CTAF) aerodromes have all changed too. If most of your flying isn't going to involve dodging wake turbulence from Jetstar and Virgin flights, check out QAS at Caloundra.
http://www.qldaviation.com Definitely cheaper as you don't have to pay for landing fees at the larger aerodromes and the staff there will treat you like an equal, rather than a newbie who is a good source of income. Ask for Greg or Stuart.
Also CASA has published on their website a new version of the Visual Flight Guide.
http://www.casa.gov.au/pilots/flitgde.htm Old version is about 5 years old. New one isn't in print yet but has all the info you will need on rules and regs at the PPL level.
Have Fun!
