If you want to stay east coast, pm me for Bernie Regan's details ex Brisbane.
You really want to have a reason for LL, bearing in mind you can't just drop down wherever you like, even with the approval. (Req approved area/permission.)
ps. Would strongly recommend a tailwheel/aeros endo for personal development (Gerry Dick at YRED), but the NVFR would be a good step as part of your CPL syllabus.
