I agree with Wendy, except perhaps that Waitpinga is somewhere between OK and fantastic. What you lose in days trips to the Blueys you gain in weekend trips to Moonarie, Arapiles and the Grampians. There's sport to be found at Thorn Buttress, Dry Creek, Norton, Car Crash Quarry, Snakelands, The Red Cliff, Doom Wall, the sea cliffs and a handful of other spots. I don't think the climbing would be a major issue if deciding whether to change cities.
Our sea cliffs are about an hour from the city. They're arguably less brittle than those in Sydney! For example:
Granite Island
The Bluff
and Waitpinga
