Depending if you just want to climb single pitch sport or hit some of the longer routes, take about 10-15 draws, a 60m rope & be prepared to shell out $50 for the guidebook & $50 for "Bolt Plates" - you'll hear about em when you get here.
The blueys is not famous for it's Trad, but there are a few nice routes & great trad crags.

Best bet is get a taxi from the Airport ot St Peters Climbing Gym (or the train) - there's bound to be climbers and staff there who will offer a multitude of opinions & recommendations. And if you're super lucky you'll score a guided tour and maybe even a couch to crash on. Failing that catch a train to Town Hall, walk to Mountain Equipment on Kent St where you can buy the above mentioned "Bolt Plates" & talk to the staff there.

Otherwise just rock up to Blackheath carpark & look for crusty people in approach shoes with over-flowing backpacks & ask if you can tag along.
