Simply cycling around
Hey Zackari :-) Yes the same Zackari who write on this blog haha. It’s a very smart guinea pig. He can speak Japanese and English, use a computer, find my blog and write some comments. But when we come back to the house he is eating innocently some salad in his home brand new bamboo cage. There is a secret behind all of this story!
Two months, two months! passed like a finger snap. I made my decision yesterday when I found a “relocating car” on internet. We can’t choose a precise date and sometimes there is not any car for a week. Yesterday I found a car from Cairns to Brisbane. It’s exactly what I need because I called a backpacker last week and they needed workers. It’s situated in Coffs Harbour, 400km south from Brisbane. It’s certainly too late now for this job but I’m gonna check every day every farm when I will start cycle (again) from Brisbane.
I’m very close to the end now. I finished building the interior. The future guinea pig will have a first floor to appreciate the view. It’s great isn’t it? ;-) And he can even read the newspaper, lucky him!
This cage is taking shape :-) The mesh is done and I must found a good trick for the door. The main target of this cage is : it has to be able to resist against the snakes and against guinea pig pee… That’s a thing I didn’t think about until now… I will certainly use some zip tie at the end to enhance the strength of the whole cage.
Today we are going to brave Barron Gorge for the second time! And we are a real team :-) Martin and Marco, Jimmy and his two sons, Cameron and me. All together, carefully and strongly we are going to reach the top of the top this time :-) I’m taking pictures from the second part only because the landscape was the same until now but we didn’t cheat, we start from the beginning of course :-D
Hey, it starts to resemble to a cage :-) The “job” is slow and needs patience but I’m sure the result we be nice with a natural looking. Yesterday, I came back to the Botanical garden to find some more bamboos. I bought the first set but I didn’t have enough. I didn’t cut any new one of course, I respect the park. I just find many on the ground and chose the best pieces. Now the cage got different colours from green to light brown. It’s still nice :-)
I’m working on a new project seen few days : a guinea pig cage :-) My initial plan was to make a cage like a big tube but I didn’t find the cheap material to make that. Marco didn’t trust me and I couldn’t show him that it was possible. Anyway, I found another material : bamboo! It’s light, it’s strong, it’s cheap, it’s perfect for a cage. I even use my survival book to learn how to make good and strong nodes. In a week maybe, this cage will be finished. At least I would like to finish it before I leave because I should do it soon, normally… see ya :-)
