| Re: rockclimbing cairns "Warm" is a subjective term, but this old man felt quite comfortable along the Great Barrier Reef the one time he was there. It was around this time of year...not quite October but close. I believe the water was about 75 degrees (fahrenheit...~24 celcius). It was also quite windy at times and I did see the occassional kitesurfer. Can't help much with info on rock climbing or lodging in Cairns, as I didn't stay there (and I don't rock climb). Good luck with your trip! |

| Re: rockclimbing cairns Not much around Cairns but there is awesome climbing throughout the east coast - in August and September you may find it too cold to camp in the Blueys, but Nowra should be fine Best place to go near Sydney is the Wolgan Valley. Great camping, soaring crack lines and beautiful outdoor setting. You will find all the trad you desire from 5.2 - 5.11. You will need a car - 2.5 hours west (past Lithgow). There are good small cliffs at Berowra and in Sutherland. Nowra has good shorter sport routes but not a particularly inspiring setting Point Perpendicular has fantastic exposed trad and sport above crashing waves Hope that helps! Cheers, |
