Talk about the fun in life. Don't they allow women to fly?

Wow i don't think i have ever quoted myself but even if i have this is the most appropriate one lol.
Currently im on my gap year and need to decide if i want to go to the states or OZ and do my PPL.
Not sure which 1 would be better, i also want to travel a bit in the country i decided to do it in.
Oh and Masseur would u know if a PPL from OZ has the same validity around the world as a PPL done in the states or UK.

in general I have found that PPL from few places is valid anywhere else without some local training.
most brits go to us because its cheap but then find that to satisfy CAA they have to do some further training back here.
if you want a challenge, learn in Oz. its a very professional and challenging environment, especially when you start doing your cross country into areas with very few features for visual navigation. when you can navigate away from major cities in oz (note I don't say outback!) then you can navigate almost anywhere on the planet!
us and oz rates are about the same, i.e. half-ish compared with UK because fueld costs are so much less
and don't be tempted to try and use GPS during your initial training... its like using a calculator for maths exams... learn the raw way first and then if you want to use a gps later and even do endorcements for gps arrivals etc
good luck!

Thanks for the reply, how many hours do you think it will take? iv heard around 50 but is that realistic?
And how long in time, i know it depends on me but say fly everyday or 3/4 times a week.
I saw a course near LA in the states and it was £3800 for 28 days including accommodation and 50 hours flight, is that what i would spend in OZ?
Thanks again

sounds about right. in australia you get a restricted ppl first which lets you do circuits on your own and fly to/from the training area, then you go on to do the unrestricted which basically adds the cross country.
I would count 50 hours as a minimum but probably count on 60 hours, and don't forget there is ALOT of theory and exams, its not all flying.
Australia has what are call GAAP aerodromes at the major cities, that General Aviation AirPort and these are away from the main commercial airports. I use Bankstown in Sydney (whereas the international airport is called Kingsford Smith). Melbourne has Moorabin, Brisbane has Archerfield etc etc
some links for you:
the CAA in Australia is called
CASA and they put out some PDF
VFR guides for the various GAAPS (inbound, outbound routing visual points and general GAAP procedures etc
the people who do the publications (maps, notams, instrument approach charts, procedures, pilot briefing (pre flight weather, routing etc) etc etc) are call
Air Services Australia
I fly with
Schofields flying club

All you guys with PPLs are lucky. After graduating highschool I badly wanted to go to Thailand and do my PPL there. For all you considering taking the course i do advise Thailand. I am certain that on mainland Europe (Germany Poland and France as I checked) do allow authorization for flights if you have your licence from East Asia. All you will be required is to take a flight with the instructor.
I myself have never reached PPL or my further dream the CPL. Untill this date I am stuck flying microlights. But they are sweet little things and quite easy to learn to fly. I've learnt on an Aeroprakt a20 a single engine 90hp plane. Since then Ive flown a Aeroprakt 26 twin engined special order with each engine producing 160hp. And the fastest thing I've been flown in had to be the aeroprakt a36 first one ever built with twin 200hp engines, never got to fly that one yet, but hopefully when I return to the emirates ill get a go.
Check out the planes:
