Nice quiet Ultra-Light aerodrome near Sydney to learn to fly

Advice requested please. Friend of mine from yesteryear has 240 hours on Chipmunks and Tiger Moths but hasn't flown since 1954. He is 76. Retirement is getting at him and I am about to suggest he could enjoy himself at relatively little cost by taking up flying recreational aircraft such as Jabiru or similar. Not flapping wings or powered parachute types though.

He lives in Sydney. Can anyone suggest a quiet aerodrome within driving distance of Sydney where there is a reputable recreation flying school but not bedevilled by hordes of Cessna/Warriors bashing the circuit. Somewhere with a nice club atmosphere.

Request average cost dual and solo that could be expected.
Thanks for your replies.
