PPL Queensland..
Hi all!
Somewhat commont question this must be, but let's say one would like to get a hold of PPL in queensland/NT area as cheap as possible and this certain person is also able to travel in order to save some $$ where would you guys say one should head? And what type of $ figures to expect?

Education does not bargain with the price
I would not be worried about a few $$ saved but rather where you will feel comfortable and where you see professionalism.
Some places have great schools but one instructor may not be to your liking, or a smaller less know place may have a really great instructor, as was the case for me.
It all depends on where you are now, if that is Birdsville, you wll have to travel anyway. if its Toowoomba.....the aero club is on your door. Check out the aero mags and yellow pages do some homework and go see a few.
Expect that if you get thru in around 45 hours tested, and thats a good result, you will have paid just under $10K with all the misc. expenses, and if you can do it in a more economical a/c than a C172, like any of the Tecnam/Jabiru etc types maybe save $2K.
Cheers

Hi and thanks guys for making valid points here
I was just curious if there was lots of variation between regions (for example I've understood its most economical to be trained in WA), but it seems the old fashioned way is the best one and to see is to belive.
I cant belive what a great weather you have here in Brisbane everyday!
