Good one bradc, there's also Cabaritta Beach for the climb/surf combo. I've seen other old quarries around Lismore and the rock is very blocky basalt with lots of cracks. The Old Lismore Quarry sounds good for training and getting the kids onto some rock. I used to have lots of fun bashing in pitons old school style with Iceman at the old Canberra quarry. I'll just have to wait and see - the trip report for WW is going to have to be mandatory now - hopefully with WWW when he comes up for a Cajun river monster fishing weekend - I can hear the banjos and smell the incense already...
