I just took my 11-year old to Slab World based on this suggestion - brilliant idea. Lovely spot, much more aesthetically pleasing than I'd guessed for so low in the mountains. Quite a stiff walk in (quite steep, but <1km and not at all scary steep) , but apart from that, - flat base to the cliffs, short climbs, super user-friendly bolting, lots of easy easy grades - we got up 11 routes in the day, and everyone had fun. Nothing spectacular, but some fun climbs, and a great introduction for a newby or the kids. A couple of harder moderate climbs (up to 21) to keep the interest levels up. Worked up a sweat on the way out, but no whinging from my son - he gets to come again.

There is not a lot of easy bolted stuff in one place in the Blueys, this is about as good as it gets. Cheers to the Wills team, nice job.
