I was looking at Carnage's earlier gramps pics and thinking that. Can almost feel the heat radiating off those rocks, smell the vegetation, and hear the insects hum.

I wasn't there but it was apparently quite warm over Easter when the first shots were taken. I just had a week there and the temperature was great, 16 degrees in the sun pretty much everyday dropping off to 10/12 in the evening.

Same can be said for Sydney through much of the winter. The odd day goes into the 20's but for the most part its 16/17 and much cooler if theres a southerly. Its almost like being handicapped over summer as its too hot but you're still trying stuff. As soon it cools, even just a bit, you notice it so much more and everything suddenly gets a lot easier!

I was there over easter and it was mint.  Mint for doing routes on Taipan that is.  Possibly a bit warm for bouldering.  HMC and Andersons are nice but i couldnt bring myself to play around on those wee stones when youve got Taipan towering above you.   ;D

Nice! You'd better get a move on though, the tories have got in and they're going to cap immigration.

and they're going to cap immigration.

using street slang now are we? and who's 'Immigration? Does he know he's going to get capped? He should lay low - move to the Isle of Man for a bit  - that kind of shit.

Probably one of the hardest, weirdest, single moves in the Cave- the gaston on Dead Can't Dance.

Not strictly a bouldering pic but you have to do a problem to get there. Nice jump (not as far as it looks) at Sypeland:

Not sure which is which. Guess the mum has the big tits and arse on the right, and the daughter on the left has the nice flange.

I would have a few more pads on that, plus a spotter or 20.
