Step, Upper Mongogarie > Woolgoolga (289km, 5days)

[wpgmza id=”48″]

This is a short trip because I did not expected to find another job that quick! I’ve just finished my Wwoofing and was focusing on Sydney. I had a bit of savings with ne but clearly not enough for the big city. I stopped in Coffs Harbour, I went to the library and was looking for work in Sydney when I’ve seen an ad online about Blueberry picking. I’ve called the guy and he told me to call him again when I would arrive in Woolgoolga. This town was not on my way but only 27km up north so I gave it a try and the next day I was working :-) This is why I’ve been cycling only 5 days! haha

  • Her : because there is snakes everywhere!
  • Me : even here, this area?
  • Her : Oh yes and they are big!
  • Me : ok, thanks for the tip
  • Her : I’ll come back tomorrow morning at the sunrise.

And she left … Okay… Maybe she mean : to verify if I’m dead or not. But there is no reason. I’m not gonna walk on the grass or lay down any where. Snake defends themselves, they don’t attack for any reasons. Bah! Nevermind, I’m still alive and I didn’t see any snake even if this morning I though one was on my bike. When I open my tent (with my knife between the teeth ;-) I saw nothing anormal.
