Where to fly in Melbourne?

I'm stuck in Melbourne for about five weeks and having just started my navs after getting my GFPT I want to keep my hand in with the odd circuit. Can someone suggest where I could get an instructor to take me up in a C172. I have my log book, Headset etc. with me.

Thanks in advance and yes I know that technically this should be in the questions forum, but I stand a better chance of a reply here.

Lilydale Flying School. Don't bother with MB or EN, it's a lot cheaper, less time to the training area and great scenery.

In the north west you could try:

Bacchus Marsh School Of Aviation

HEADING:
Flying Schools

ADDRESS
Bacchus Marsh Airfield
Bacchus Marsh
VIC, 3340
Ph: (03) 5369 5162


Friend of mine is doing his PPL there currently. I believe the training area is adjacent the airport, and low overheads mean lower costs than MB or EN

Hang the expense for a couple of lessons and fly out Essendon. Great Scenery, over MEL almost every flight, and you have the benefit of Primary Airspace work and RT procedures.
