Hey buddy, good luck, I lived in Yarram for 4 years and there is bugger all climbing (even rock!) within cooee of the joint. Living in Sale, you'll have better access to the limestone around Buchan (http://www.chockstone.org/Buchan/Buchan.htm) and the granite of Mount Erica (http://www.chockstone.org/MtErica/MtErica.htm) up behind Traralgon. There is some fabulous bouldering and climbing at Wilsons Prom and some crappy scary rock on Phillip Island at Cape Woolamai (http://www.chockstone.org/CapeWoolamai/Woolamai.htm). There is some ok bouldering at Walkerville South out near Bird Rock including some very steep cave problems and a slabby wall below the lighthouse at Cape Liptrap (sth of Walkerville Sth). Mt Baw Baw is pretty close which has some good MTB, hiking and limited XC and downhill skiing/boarding...no ice though - too low. There is some fun suff up at Hotham and Falls Ck but if you're driving over that way, just keep going to Mt Buffalo. All the above (excepting Buffalo) can be found in the Eastern Victoria Guidebook from the Victorian Climbing Club (http://www.vicclimb.org.au/index.php?location=shop) . My extra super special advice: buy a decent touring sea kayak and get out into the lake systems in the area!
