We don't really have that clubby thing here. The sort of place with a bar, nice restaurant, veranda to watch aeroplanes come and go in pleasant picturesque surroundings and friendly folk around just happy to pass the time of day is not really the Australian scene. Schoies is probably about as close as you'll get. Always friendly and happy to share a coffee and a biscuit but that's about it and Bankstown ain't the most salubrious setting.
Don't get me wrong. Some of the schools are not unfriendly and will be welcoming but generally they are businesses who's main goal in life is to extract money from you. Just one of the minor reasons why GA in Australia is in the doldrums.
