Marks 99 I did the GFPT, PPL & CPL at RED Aeroclub, and it was a good environment. The folks there get to know you individually and are a pretty easy going bunch. (I've even heard Rob is a becoming a bit more relaxed......)
The strip is good & you get plenty of crosswind practice. CTA is only 1500' above if you wanna get in there, and BN, AF, AMB, MC and OK are all within cheap flying range for your CTA, CTZ, GAAP and MIL practice. There's no taxying to speak of.
The aircraft are getting older, but they are well maintained. Your choice of C152s, C172s and Warrior for basics, Arrow for advanced and a twin catastrophe for ME. They can do up to and including MECIR as well as PIFR.
I can personally recommend Rick Wedgewood at Avalon at Caboolture (0410424547); one-on-one training in a pristine 152, PA28, Arrow and Commanche. CAB is a grassed strip and the costs are a bit less again than RED. Everything from GFPT to MECIR. Good value for your $$.
Good luck.
