Excellent advice, BlownSeal, I wish I had done that when I first came to Melbourne, looking back I was quite naive going with a second-hand recommendation (they didn't have actual experience with the school, just knew of them) and by their image (big property, lots of planes, etc.).
Look at Bini when it comes to IR they have an apparently excellent theory guy there (search here or at bladeslapper for more details), and MFT have a superb wrap-around screen sim..
