I did my initial twin / Duchess training with Aminta Hennessy at Clamback & Hennessy. Also flew with Lisa Westcott there, and Ray Clamback.
Aminta is a hard taskmaster (task mistress?) and I could imagine how her personal manner might make some people uncomfortable. She is fairly blunt and will not spare the criticism. The flip side is that I always learnt something and the folks there (at the time - it's been a few years) are/were mostly all very experienced.
Have also flown with Whitworth & AFTS. The former has a good name but I didn't think too much of his aircraft, and AFTS was a bit too 'factory' for my liking - too many pimply types with fancy epaulettes.
Good luck.

BK Flying Schools
Can I suggest Basair? The training there is absolutely second to none! They're located at 685 Comper St, Bankstown Airport (just opposite Eddie's 
) Basair is one of the most busiest flight schools in Bankstown, especially on weekends & have a diverse range of aircraft to choose from!
If you need any more info, PM me.
Thanks

TurbineDreamer. Please do a PPRuNe search on Bankstown flying training.
