Fun in Victoria.....

Hey everybody,

Sorry for the lag time between posts....we have been consumed by the climbing here. We have been splitting our time between the Grampians and the Arapiles meeting new people and getting schooled on everything from the Tiapan Wall to Hollow Mountain to well everything at Mount Arapiles. So of course we are loving it. We have
branched out a little more than usual to place some gear and do some easy multi-pitches and we are totally loving it!!!

We had to say bye to Pierre a few weeks ago so our pictures are going to take a hit.....but we met Dominik the 'Dominator' and he has kept us in stitches (and gear) for the last few weeks!!!!

I have tried to post a range of different stuff for pictures but it seems the bouldering photo's keep getting neglected as no one ever wants to put down the chalk bucket and pick up a camera (I'll work on this!!?)

Hope everybody is well and enjoying summer.......it is just starting to get warmer here!!

Cheers,
Nic's

PS....Thanks to the anonymous Aussie who corrected what we thought was a Lyre Bird nest (See Comments from last post!
