Wwoofing ready! When I was looking for work in Cairns it did not worked out. Apparently they don’t really like French people up there. We have a bad reputation and I’m absolutely not surprised about that. Too many young guys who want just to make parties, get drunk and be noisy. The neighbourhood does not really like this. This is why I’ve decided to hire a car and drive down to Brisbane because the season for the fruit picking has started already and by cycling I would be completely late. At the same time, I tried to find a job which would be paid and part of the 2nd Visa program. I’ve finally found a Wwoofing place which accepted me for that 3 months period, nice!

Step, Cairns > Cooktown (loop) (775km, 12 days)
This is my first trip in Australia. It looks small but it’s the biggest step I’ve made until now! It’s so warm here compare to New Zealand! I’ve met already 3 cyclists on the way : two guys (one from France with a guy from Australia) cycling for few weeks from Brisbane to Cooktown. Then one woman from Germany was cycling back from Cape york.
Step, Auckland, NZ > Cairns, OZ (flight + 30km cycling, 2 days)
New Zealand to Australia to enjoy hot winter :-) The sensation when I arrived in Cairns was sooo good! It’s not winter here it’s like spring or even summer time! I missed my plane when I was in transfer in Brisbane so Qantas offered me a night in a five stars hotel. What a thing to start Australia after camping five days in park in Auckland with a really cold rainy weather!
