@roger - Moorabbin is one of the best training airports in the world. Probably dearer than doing RA at Tooradin, but much better if you want to get serious about flying later.
I spend a lot of time at Tooradin and sometimes the RA flying you see down there is scary.
MFT have a good reputation, although other flying schools have better fleets of planes. MFT is possibly the friendliest school at Moorabin.
