At that time of year (June/July) you will be bouldering with ice tools and crampons. Mt Buffalo is in the Victorian Alps (which are nothing like the French Alps btw) and is under a blanket of snow between June - August. Certainly it'll be too cold and wet there to even consider bouldering (on rock).

Both Araps and the Grampians will be perfect in terms of temperatures for bouldering, tho the Gramps (as Neil said) can get wet at that time of year...which isn't an issue in a cave...good friction, good temps and less people...winter is a perfect time of year to visit IMHO
