Aron Jones and I set off on a two month East Coast road trip ticking off crags such as Kaputar, Blue Mtns, Nowra, Bungonia Gorge, Mt Buffalo, Arapiles and the Grampians. Highlights of the trip were Claustral Canyon in the Blue Mtns, Strangness and Charm at Bungonia Gorge and Ozymandias at Mt Buffalo. Considering Aron had never climbed outside of Queensland before it was quite a trip!
