If you are close to Moorabbin check out all the schools and the aircarft they have. Ask about what aircraft they will have for you to hire later on.
All the training should be to a similar standard aircraft rates however do vary dramaticaly.
Ask the schools that you think are interesting Who owns the aircarft and who maintains them. Last thing you want is to fall in love with a particular aircarft and the find out that the owner takes it away.
If you want to fly a Cessna your options are reduced as some operators dont use them.
