Contacts needed in Australia
 
First post for me here - just booked a 6 week trip to the East Coast of Australia starting in October.
I am looking to make my way from Brisbane down to Sydney over the period, taking stock photographs and hopefully getting some airtime.
As it is a one off trip for me i do not want to do a validation to fly myself, instead i want to find someone with a 172 to fly with and take in the sights. Happy to pay all the hire and do 20-30 hours at least. I guess an instructor would be fine with a club aircraft or an obliging private owner?
I want a high wing aircraft with a pilot as i always take my camera to harvest heaps of images as i transit about and never liked the idea of flying and taking piccies alone!
Any personal contacts from here would be a better starting point for me, i think, before i start emailing the schools direct.
Many thanks in advance, great forums here, very useful!

I'm sure you'll get a response if you post in the Downunder Questions section.

Laurie Prior is ops and technical guy at Archerfield in Brisbane. Archer is virtually in the middle of Bris and if you're starting there then I would suggest Archer are the place to contact, there are loads of schools and hire places there, it's GA central.
