Have you tried Curtis Aviation over at Camden? They start you off on a tail wheel and stick so you therotically learn old school then they progress you onto the better stuff. They are also in the training area for sydney region so you don't lose valuable money in transit to and from the training area. Just a thought.
Am looking to complete some further training with them so I can do bushie stuff. They have good contacts with short gravel strips and bush strips for varying up your learning and getting to see a bit of this country while your over here!!!
Above all safe skies and good luck
