Simply cycling around
A friend of Robin, Wendy, who lives somewhere else comes regularly to Sydney and she stays in Newtown. She is a street artist and today we are going to take some pictures of the best “pieces” around Newtown. This is very interesting because she knows who did this, who did that and the different crews.
Since I arrived, Robin gave me that room. It’s empty so that I’ve got lots of space! That’s it :-)
It rained a bit last night and my tent resisted, I was lucky. It’s not much waterproof now even after the spray. This morning as every morning I woke up at 6am and a moment later I was in the ferry to Port Macquarie. There was so many mosquitoes so I had to move as fast as possible.
This is it, after three months spent in Woolgoolga where I’ve never expect to come, I’ve discover this nice little town surrounded by blueberrie, cucumber and banana farms. I saved some money and I’m now ready to cycle down south again. I had a good time with John, his wife and friends and I certainly progressed in English as well. Yesterday I organized a bqq and invited few friends I met here. It was nice.
Today I have a mission. Woolgoolga’s council is on its way to make changes in the town. They want to get rid of the main campsite and the surf club to build new units which will welcome richer people. It’s always a question of money… The thing is that surf club particularly is part of the heritage of the town and they simply want to destroy it. A friend of John, who is an heritage person started to fight against the council. Her community created a web site and a petition to stop the demolition. This morning I’m here to take some pictures of the building and hope it will serve the community. If you want more informations : www.savewoopibeach.org.
John proposed me one time to have a day trip to show me the country side around Woolgoolga. This time came and it’s today :-) We started by visiting the huge Costa farm named also as Berry Exchange. This is the biggest berry farm in the south hemisphere and it’s gonna be soon the biggest in the world because the company bought rescently more land to continue developing the business. Then we went to Grafton, where I have been already, to have a nice fish n’ chips. Finally we came back to Woolgoolga too close our loop. Let’s start the visit now :-)
If you are afroad of spiders even front of your screen, do not open that post :-) This picture protect yourself from an heart attack. It’s only my hand but it could be scary as well ah ah. All those coming spiders are harmless. That means they wouldn’t attack human. They prefer insects and have different styles to catch them. Are you ready? Be strong, it’s your turn now :-P
