Thanks for the additional help, guys.
Our plans have changed so instead of flying around in outback we will spend a week in a resort, and my flying will be limited to some daytrips afterwards - which will therefore be with an instructor and the whole license/ASIC thing falls away.
(Part of the reason we decided this was really because we didn't want to commit to booking places to stay etc. when weather or other issues might leave to a late minute change of plans. We will save the thought for next time we go down.)
So... the question changes.
Any ideas for places in Northern Vic/Murray river valley which (a) would be nice to visit and (b) have a local flying community where I could find an aircraft and willing instructor?
Thanks guys (and gals!)
