The Kimberley is difficult i hear - ask TimW - he spent a couple of years in Darwin and I was led to believe that whilst the rock can be good - it's is difficult to climb due to native title / heritage issues and the oppressive heat.

Whenever I drive through the Pilbara I reckon it has some great scope for climbing. Access and heritage would probably be easier but could still be a headache. Also bloody hot.

WA Goldfields - good if you are into horizontal climbing....

You could consider some of the SA tenements / projects - Prominent Hill and Roxby are probably a bit far from anything worthwhile climbing though.

Personally - I reckon you best bet - if you aren't keen on working in mining in VIC is to land a FIFO job where they will send you back to Melbourne on your break..
