Scottish Climber looking for info July 6 - 12 29-Jun-2018 At 7:44:06 PM Forrest

My wife and I are heading to Melbourne for a 3 week holiday and arrive on 5 July. I am getting excused from the shopping, gallery /sightseeing agenda for 4 or 5 days and am hoping to head up to Arapiles to see the place and if possible do some climbing. Aim to be there any time between 6 and 12 July. I will be limited in what I can carry with me but will take my own boots, chalk bag, harness and helmet. I am hoping to tie on with other climbers and also need info on somewhere to stay where I can meet other climbers. Is there a climber's bunkhouse in Natimuk. Mayhire a car in Melbourne unless someone else wants someone to share petrol costs?

I am 58 but quite fit and I climb up to E1/E2 UK or 6b/6c French sports grades and have been climbing, including Scottish Winter mountaineering, for 40 years. I'm not bad company and have never been labelled as 'boring'!

Any advice/suggestions appreciated.
