CPLH IN NEW ZEALAND - any advantages OR NOT??

gday peeple - this is my first post! ...I started my PPLH 3yrs ago at PHS cooloongatta and just got to 20 hrs - but i was inconsistent due to my work and stopped as wedding costs blew out and other life stuff!!
1ST POINT - i plan to do my PPL in fixed wing here in south east qld - to learn all the nav, as well as be more employable! - i hope - actually so when i start CPL on choppers i can concentrate more on flying instead of trying to learn nav as well.
2ND POINT - PHS is great - but for a change of scenery - literally - thought i mite train in NZ - ( costs dont seem tobe much different) - but if got CPLH there - is that recognised in OZ - or do i hav to do more flight tests/checks - coming from a NEW ZULLAND licence!!
POINT 3 - also should i pick a school at sea level or at altitude!!
POINT 4 - Ive read learning in a bell 47 (without a governor) is supposed to be good for your power management skills....

i think thats all for now !! ha look forward to hearing from u experinced hands .. and whoeve !! ta
