when (and where) is that?
unfortunately its not the best time of the year to be flying unless you get a good clear sky day.
still, on your first trial or lesson you get to learn control on the ground using your feet and you'll get to take control for alot of the flying once airborne and at height and the instructor will take you to the training area so you'll get to experience what its like trying to find the aerodrome visually
in your first 2-3 hours just think of it as driving in 3 dimensions because, as a novice, thats what it will feel like if you're flying an aircraft with a control wheel. If you're flying an aircraft with a control stick then its completely different
and don't be daunted at the pre-take off checks and the controls you have around you because you'll soon become familar with them

winter can be good because the cold air provides better aircraft performance, so my suggestion is to wait until a day you are free which has low/nil wind and clear skies and see if there is availability for your lesson on that day and then GO FOR IT! you'll love it!

looks like a Warrior. not a bad training aircraft. I learned in a Cessna 152 initially then progressed to 172 cutlass (retractable landing gear) then 182, 210 and other cessnas including the fabulous cessna 310 twin engine which does 180 knots (3 miles a minute!). Great for getting around Australia in decent times!
let us know how you go!
