The Blue Mountains is a superb location. Getting a perfect winter days climbing (sunny, no wind, 5-10C) at Shipley Upper offers some magical friction on those delightfully crimpy routes.

For those climbers who still qualify for a working holiday visa (i.e. not yet turned 31), spending a year working in Sydney with weekend/day off trips to the Blue Mountains is a really good option.
