Hi Karl, I have spent many hours at Egg Rock, not many of them climbing. I did do some climbing there about 30 years ago. None of it was particularly memorable but the Goanna's house was not involved. There was a half decent climb about 10m high about grade 20? just west of the Egg Rock scar, maybe 200m down. I have no ambition about claiming any FA in the area. The Scar is, according to legend, where the original Egg Rock trundled down the hill after being dynamited by some local lads back in the day when you could actually buy dynamite. The scar would be just NW of the fire tower. There is a fairly substantial granite Tor of good quality on Fitzpatrick Rd near the Junction of Big Creek Rd that may be worth a look if you are in the area. You could always climb the Ada tree if the Tor isn't feasible!
