Wales to Arapiles 25-Oct-2013 At 10:25:25 AM wyn_88

Sorry if this is a fairly regular post that gets repeated but I'm going with it anyway.

I was just after a bit of advice really

I

I'm Flying from from rainy wales in the uk with a mate and arriving on Monday morning in Melbourne and we have a month in Australia where we plan on spending a week or two climbing in Araps maybe more or less depending on my messed up tendons.
We are both 25, climb around 13-15 and like a few beers,

We have a car and I am happy to do multiple 10 hour days of driving or dump the car and fly some where for a few days/ a week, not to short of money so can afford to do things but are quite happy to camp and sleep in the car if that makes things cheaper and more fun or will free up more cash up for beers and fun stuff.

Is it worth just sticking around Victoria for the month and possibly popping over to Tasmania for a bit and properly exploring one area or would it be worth driving up to Sydney for a week and checking out the blue mountains ( providing they are fire free obviously)

I reckon I will be back to Australia one day so I don't want to waste time heading to far north as I can do that another time.

What fun touristy things should I not miss out? The great ocean road is on the list to see and maybe a trip to Tasmania but we were just going to arrive in the pines campsite and hope to meet people there and work out some kind of plan.
Outdoorsy adventure stuff is the main theme with a few beers thrown in for good measure.

Hurl your abuse or suggestion at me please.

Thanks

Wyn
