Hi Rob,

Being a climber that now lives in Adelaide but use to live in Melbourne I can tell you that if you don't like climbing gyms then Adelaide is the obvious choice as there are crags within 20min of the city. Also for a young family Adelaide is a bit cheaper to live in as housing prices are lower. Also the beaches in Adelaide are way better than the dirty excuse for sand they have in Melbourne as long as you don't mind the odd shark or two.

From Adelaide the travel time to Araps is about 4.5 hours and Gramps is about 5.5hours and Moonarie is about 6hours.

If your after night like then there are some good clubs to go to and Adelaide happens to be the city of festivals, so there is usually something going on.

The climbing community here is small but very dedicated with a very easy going vibe.

If you want to know more let me know.

Cheers.
