Good climbing suggestions for kids aged 4-10 15-Oct-2023 At 7:32:52 PM Jahmz

Hi all, I'm after some good climbing suggestions for young kids. We are located in Tumbarumba, north-east of Albury, so looking for weekend trips between bluies and cathedrals. We've been on a climbing hiatus since having kids, given they don't mix well with cliffs. Best case they just end up whinging about standing around for too long or walking too far. But lately the eldest (nearly 6) has been talking about wanting to go again. At this age, I find they can climb around what I would call a 3 or 4, but realistically the best walls for kids aren't in guide books, probably because kids grow up faster than you could put a guide together. Good kids crags/climbs would have the following features: Low angle slabs, good line of sight, limited foliage, safe access.

Please let me know if you have any ideas or experience.
Cheers
