i skipped my ppl on the intergrated 150 course i did... worst choice was doing that... got me into my cpl a week faster but other then that, i never had the chance to go where i wanted really, always had to be checked up by instructors on the morning of the flight... no overnighting... so didnt get to experience sunshine coast flying only flew in victoria (well did a trip to adelaide but that was the only time). You get bored quickly flying the same routes round victoria, there is a stage where you know every little town you fly over that a map is no longer useful.
