Looking for climbers on backpacking holiday 2-Mar-2013 At 12:05:08 PM CSI_Will

Hi folks,

I'm looking to hook up with some climbers during a backpacking holiday this month. I'm flying from the UK and travelling light so will only have basic gear - harness, shoes, belay plate, crabs and chalk bag. Am competent at bouldering/sport/single pitch trad climbing. Landing in Melbourne on 10th March and looking to head out to Mt.Arapiles on the 11th or 12th (pretty flexible at the moment). Thinking of hiring a car or camper to get there but not yet decided if I'm going to camp or find a hostel yet. Will be heading back to Melbourne by the 14th as I'm then flying to Cairns.

Anyone heading out to the crags around about the same time from Melbourne and up for sharing transport/hooking up? Best to camp or use a hostel? Any tips on where to meet climbers near the crags?

It's my first time in Australia and am totally psyched!

Any help is much appreciated. Cheers, Will
