Simply cycling around
Hooo! This is a BIG spider with its baby! It’s standing in a palm tree right next to the main door of Martin and Yoko’s house. The size with the legs is like 10 cm wide! Apparently it’s not a dangerous one but I hope it won’t come in my tent… brr! OK let’s change the subject. Today I’m coming with Martin and Marco to a downhill track. I expect to do this since more than 15 years maybe and finally now, in Australia, Cairns, it’s going to happens! I will enjoy that :-)
Hey, yesterday night I’ve found a good place to set my tent. It was on an edge of a sports field at the end if the Esplanade cycleway. I woke up early to make sure nobody can see me and I’m now having a good breakfast front if this nice sunrise :-)

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.
Today I’m coming back to Cairns. After 2 weeks riding around I’m going to get my tax file number and find a work somewhere. Maybe I will come back later to Mareeba because the office was close yesterday and it the same today. Right we are Sunday…
This time I’m continuing my trip. My first loop in Australia is almost finished but I’m looking to the general map it’s like I’ve nothing! I’ve realised that today is Saturday and I’m not sure everything will be open. Especially a place where we can subscribe to find a job. I think I will continue towards Cairns get my phone card plus my tax file number and then come back to Mareeba. Could be the best plan.
Today is relaxing day :-) I’m not doing anything special, just reading, playing guitar, eating… That’s it. The weather is unstable and it’s better to wait until tomorrow. Many campervan left the place this morning because we can’t stay more than 48 hours here. There is some birds around I never seen before.
As everytime, more I am in a place lost in a middle of nowhere and more I sleep well. There is only one road so the traffic is really quiet during the night. The wind is not really strong now, it’s fine. I have “only” 50km to do and I will get tumor the free campsite and enjoy a free cold shower, nice :-)
