Flying training is actually going very well in Australia. It is run by RAA schools with aircraft built this century. My guess is there are now more RAA schools in Australia than there were GA schools "back then". Why would anyone pay north of $300 per hour to learn to fly in something GA registered when they can learn to fly for less than $200.00 at a local RAA school? CASA recognise this and hand out a GA licence to RAA licence holders
