It is a great spot. Climbing-wise there is heaps to do. Plenty of beaches. As for boulder problems the only ones I know of are at thesarvo.
I had a good look around the various campsites we were at and only found the problems boulders in the photos, which I was a little disappointed with, particularly the granite.

There are a huge number of possible problems on the solid limestone, which has heaps of features, usually little pockets BUT the edge of the pockets is generally very sharp. It is possible to find problems that keep shredding down to a sensible level. I found a couple of VE- V1 with the kids which I didn't get photos of.
There were also a couple of obvious problems at the limestone bay that looked hard but didn't seem to sharp.
There were a lot of places I didn't visit and there seemed like a lot of boulders about, but gaining access was problematic and I recall feeling generally disappointed with the boulders I visited (probably due to the expectations raised by the Rock article).
It is a nice place for a holiday if you like quiet, laid back holidays and maybe a bit more exploration will find the bouldering bonanza!
