Try Cobden airfield in Vic. Used to go there a bit 2-3 years ago, training occurs there wed and Thur, and there is usually tea there at the aeroclub wed night's. Very friendly people who love their flying.
As I left that part of the counrty they were about to get a fuel bowser.

Mudgee used to be pretty good too. I have very many fond memories of GW Campbell Aviation and the Mudgee Aero Club. Been a real long time since I've been there though, so don't know if it's still the same.
I was gutted with George died.

Try Barwon Heads near Geelong, get a cuppa during week and Saturday Night a meal and a few drinks (as long as you are not flying on the drinks)
Great Air Rally on the 27th Feb. should be a good show as it has been for a few years now (Happens at different venues each time)
Had to edit as saw your origin and maybe you do not know the location, Geelong is in Victoria.

Bit concerned about not friendly? do not even count the Dancing Boy in my equation, we are talking about the Aero Club and in my opinion the Dancing Boy is the only Wank*r down that way.

Kettle is also on most weekends in Cobden.
Great bakery in town....within walking distance.
Also 3rd Sunday of the month, the mini railway runs.
Thats located just beside the airfield.
Think its about $1.50 a ride per person Approx 2k track that runs around a garden area... No.. not a direct line into town..!
Avgas is now available.
Next fly-in is on in October, and we have gr8 spit roast tea
Can give more details if required.

Wollongong...try the microlight people there, they are usually there midweek and they drink a lot of tea, usually need no prompting to boil the jug.
Think they are in the helicopter hangar.
