Right the UKBizzle, I'm planning on going to Australia next Spring once I'm done with my phd. Have already spoken to a few people but got some questions and interested in general recommendations for crags, routes, fun rest day stuff etc...Current plan:April/May - Grampians/Arapiles. Taipan wall is obviously prime target, Muline maybe, plus keen for a bunch of Grampians boulderingJune/July - Blue MountainsAny thoughts on that plan? Other places worth adding? Psyched for a mix of sport and bouldering mainly, possibly the odd trad route if it's a real cracker.
Questions- From those I've spoken to it sounds like it'll be worth having a car. Anyone bought one out there? Any knowledge/advice? I know some people in Blue Mnts so could potentially use their address if needed... - Rob Greenwood advised staying at Arapiles and driving to Grampians rather than staying there as it's easier/cheaper? Anyone agree/disagree?- Is there much Blue Mnts bouldering and is the Sydney bouldering worth a look?- Is Coolum (sp?) worth a visit or not really?- Any recommendations for where to train if it's raining?Thanks for any info!
