Moaraigh if you have Mooney time there is an N reg M20J in Sydney available to rent to the right pilots...you would still need an ASIC to fly to security controlled airports (which are any airports that have even a weekly CAT (RPT as they say in Aus) flight)...

Australia is not interested in making it easy to fly....for anyone....contrasted with the (pre EASA) situation in the UK where any ICAO licence would let you fly a G-reg day VFR....

Rather than CASA for an ASIC I suggest Aviation ID Australia | Professional ASIC Distribution Centre

Albury
 

Baikonour - if Albury is an option, give Rhena a call at Riverina - highly recommended :-)

Riverina Aviation College | Flight School | Albury Wodonga

Thanks GF - will get in touch with them.
Were originally looking further West (we've travelled around the Bright/Beechworth/Wangaratta area before), but now that you've pointed it out, there seem to be more interesting landscapes to fly over on the East than on the West of the Murray.
OH has already got her wish with the first week, so I can push through my wish for this trip... :E

ASIC + CoV Update, also EASA ME in Australia
 

Hi All,

I've just submitted ASIC and CoV applications for my EASA PPL(A). I found this thread useful (thank you!) so I will post the results of those applications here when I get them in case anyone else like me is out there searching and wants latest info (and some hope!). Leaving for Australia in two months' time.

A question I have is whether anyone knows if it is possible to do an EASA multi-engine rating in Australia?

Cheers
Matt

I just happened to see this post and just happened to be visiting Echuca this weekend. Beautiful old town on the Murray.
