Second day in Woolgoolga. I’m still working and should stay here two months. The mission today is to find the way to wash my clothes (the washing machine are six dollars, what?! Too expensive for me.

Woolgoolga, first working day (updated)
Okay, today, first of January I’m going to work. There is a sign, a sign that I need money and I’m going to work a lot this year :-)
Step, Upper Mongogarie > Woolgoolga (289km, 5days)

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
Nana glen > Coffs Harbour (25km, 1h35) > Woolgoolga (27km, 1h40)
Ola :-) Wow! This night was one of the best I had since a long time. A Thermarest mattrees plus a pillow it’s a five star bed :-) Just yesterday night when I came here to pitch the tent, a dog on the other side of the fence, on the left side, started barking. Rah! Finally I was lucky because it did not insist. Fiou! This is a good spot, definitively :-D
Grafton > Nana Glen (65km, 4h25)
Fiou! That was a bit a scary night finally. Yesterday evening when I was pitching my tent a woman stopped next to me and told me :
- Are you really gonna sleep here?
- Me : Yes, why?
- 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.
Chatsworth Island > Grafton (47km, 3h05)
Hello, after a great time with Karen, Jeff, Jack and Koby I’m gonna leave this morning to continue my trip towards Sydney, well firstly towards Coffs Harbour.
Woodburn > Chatsworth island (39km, 2h10)
This morning, wake up at 5:40am. It’s fresh, 20°, perfect for a ride. I’m reaching back the highway expecting a calm traffic. I want to ride two hours and then stop somewhere nice to have a break and start cycling again at the end of the day.
