Awesome you won't be dissapointed! (Except maybe by the public transport getting there!) As other have said getting a car is the most practical option. Swapping to driving on the LEFT isn't that hard and the drive is not challenging. Though that assumes you have a driver's license.

Closer to the date you might get some takers, local climbers don't always plan well ahead. I might even be persuaded to chauffeur you out and climb for Sun&Mon. (Depends on a bunch of factors, can't commit now.. I'll PM details.)

Once you get there you'll meet plenty of friendly climbers in the campsite. There is normally a moderate crowd of Australian and International climbers camping out. Getting a ride into town at some point should be achievable. (Easter Long Weekend on the week before you arrive the numbers swell to many hundreds but most have left by the Tuesday.)
