There must be some operators in the country areas that have a "live in" course?
Try calling Geelong Flying school, they have recently moved from Geelong up to Tocumwal ( I think? Somewhere near there anyway!! ) and do their flying training up there. The owner Andrew Townley is CX. They might be able to arrange suitable accommodation as well. The weather up there is good too
Here is their old web page, give them a ring for the latest info:-
