I cycled round Flinders with a school group and stayed at Trousers point which was great and Amita? about 30km from Killiecrankie. This was good and is where 'The Castle' block photo was taken (a bit high for bouldering).
A car would greatly increase the potential bouldering, there were many boulders visible from the roadside but mostly on private land and given a ratio of 100:1 visit 100 to find a good one. There is some work todo.
I visited Killiecrankie campsite which did have a shower and shop in 2004 and cost $2.00 a night (the others were free).
The Killiecrankie area looked prospective for bouldering but would require some exploration and effort.
Drinking water availibility can be an issue every where on the island.

I guess when I went I was expecting a lot of accessible boulders (roadside to 30 min from the road) but only saw a few boulders (usually on private land) in this category mainly around Trousers point.
The Limestone at Cave bay (turn right off the Trouser point road a couple of k's from the camp site). Looked spectacular with some worthwhile problems but was very sharp.
Let us know how you get on.
