yeah, there isnt any training facilities in Perth, so their ground schools will be in either Sydney or Melbourne. If they are considering Perth as their main base in the future then they will probably think about building a training centre here...but in the meantime all new recruits will definately be sent to Syd or Mel. I wouldnt complain. I know how hard it is studying in ground school with all the distractions of a normal routine at home, so id jump at the opportunity to go to syd or mel for G/S.
Little_red_hat, you completely lost me haha! Thanks for your help though. The applications have closed for the Perth base now anyway, so they have my photo-less application. If im lucky enough to get a call I will most definately have my photo ready. In the meantime i'll play around with my settings and see what i can do.
thanks!
