Mate, further to the excellent advice above, can I suggest Lilydale which should be equidistant for you as it's very close to Coldstream.

It seems to me (I have been to both places, but haven't trained at either) that the facilities at Lilydale would be superior to Coldstream's, they seem to have a very active flying club/school there, and I know the guy who hires out his Travelair for training, he's very happy there.

Check out the site (Lilydale Airport), and why not just drive down there and talk to the people, from what I can remember they are very welcoming.

Enjoy flying, learning how to stop an aircraft with minimum roll on a soaking wet grass runway is more fun that you can imagine

P.S.: Work out how many hours training you can buy with the accumulated landing charges at EN.. that one's a no brainer AFAIK, most student pilots I know only ever go there for practice ILS's..
