Hey all,
Thanks for the suggestions, we ended up leaving that afternoon so Ive only just seen all the replies.
We ended up going to Dam cliffs today as we were on our way back from 3 days up at Dunns swamp (which by the way has some awesome easy stuff with great trad anchors if you search for them, really good beginner top rope stuff in the 10-12mtr range!)
He loved Dam cliffs, we started on Hesitation 10 where he did a couple of laps, Unknown 14, tested him a bit and a few assisted dynos got him there and finally, Truancy officer 20, hahahaha, he had a ball and was throwing himself up at every hold he could. It was awesome seeing kid with no fear or concept of grades just going for each hold anyway he could. Considering he has only been climbing for 3 days in total, the kids got some moxie!!
I can see a future climbing partner when I need someone to drag my old butt up a wall.
