Sounds like a really great spot. I love MTBing, not as much as climbing but...
This is encouraging, before I was worried but I reckon there is way more to do outdoors in Gippsland than Perth. I started as strictly bouldering because I had no one to climb with. I've only gotten into route climbing doing some sport and lead in the last 3 months. What I am really looking forward to is getting out in the country and camping/hiking/ exploring for some interesting boulder routes. Also I hope to get up to the alps and do some Ice climbing.
