... It's not broken down re % age however reckons of 7639 registered users our average age is 38.
Given the real number of legitimate user registrations is probably closer to (guess) 5,000 and not all put their age, I'd take the figure with a grain of salt.

In case people here were not aware of it, Rock Climbing was officially recognized as a sport in Australia. This means that we can look for grants and also government assistance for our athletes with regards to training and travel.These are all good things and has been a long time coming.

I thought being on the dole and living at the Pines was a well-established venture that the government has long tried to put an end to? Death to the welfare cheats if I remember Scott Morrison correctly?
