I have just been up to Mt Alexander south of bendigo and I have found a new route it near langs look out, it's a right angle corner crack with a ripped side it's about 6 meters and granite. It's called Back, Crack and...! about a 9 or 10! There is heaps more to find up there. Tones of good bouldering routes and some possible top rope and lead climbs nothing over 10 meters tho. Be care on the rock to the granite flakes and falls off easy as.

Sounds a bit like Rakes Of Mallow 8m 14 (see here for a picy), but there's lots of short cracks all over the place if you're prepare to hunt.

No it's not rake the mallows. i found that one but it was wet so i didn't do it. This ones on a boulder about 75 meters away along the ridge.
