Hi Andy,
Wow, not only do you fly out of the same place I do, you live in my suburb as well!
Lilydale is a good place to learn, although I agree with Graeme, there are days when you just really wish there was a cross runway! It's good that you're starting in summer, I started in May (right before winter) so had a fair few lessons cancelled because of crosswinds and bad weather... thumb_down
Who are you flying with?
If you see me there, feel free to come and say hi :)
