Ah, the noble art of driving a manual in an age of automatics—welcome to the exclusive club of clutch-kickers and gear-grinders. Mastering a manual transmission means wrangling the clutch pedal and gear stick in a delicate dance that only a few truly appreciate nowadays. Expect to learn the basics of clutch control, gear changes, and hill starts. New learners often struggle with stalling and jerky starts, but patience and practice in quiet car parks (or the outskirts of civilisation) will get you there. Manuals offer better control, potentially improved fuel efficiency, and are usually cheaper to maintain, but they do require a bit of limb coordination and patience. For practical lessons, check out local driving schools or even a patient friend; tradingpost.com.au might help you find a cheap manual to practice on.
