Accept my apologies if you have read this before as I've posted it to
similar climbing forums.
_____________________________________________________________________________

This is my first day of gathering info. So humor me please:

My girlfriend and I are seriously considering emigrating to Australia.
(More accurately: we will, as soon as all paperwork is completed and
local property sold)

In preparation we'll be traveling to
16 Dec 2010: Melbourne
21 Dec 2010: Canberra
26 Dec 2010: Sydney
1 Jan 2011: Brisbane
6 Jan 2011: Back to Cape Town.

Me:
I climb both Sport and Trad, and have opened new routes in both.
23 (Oz grade) highest Redpoint. Sport.
20 / 21 comfort grade.
18 / 19 reasonable on-sight grade on both Trad and Sport.
13 years trad experience (continuous)
3 years wilderness search and rescue involvement.

We'll be traveling light (hopefully sport gear, maybe only shoes)

The questions:

1) What areas would you recommend?
2) Is anybody willing to show us around (We'll be more than happy to
return the favor should you ever visit South Africa)
3) Any South Africans reading this and living there care to meet up?
4) A long shot: I'm a 33 year old architect. I'll be looking for
architectural employment once there. Any climber-architect willing to
see me for an interview?
