Being a small(ish) country town there won't be too many people around here that will be near you. If you get lucky then you might be able to meet/persuade some local climbers. Otherwise you are on your own!

If you want to learn climbing then you can learn it from professional guides in the Blue Mountains. It will cost more but it is the best option if you can't find locals to help you. Once you learn the basics of gear placement and setting up top ropes you will have a start on which you can build upon.

Your closest rockclimbing area is pretty nearby. This is better closer than many of us city folk have.

Further afield you have Nowra, Blue Mountains and Mt Buffalo all within a few hours drive. All have great climbing.
