Home, Sweet Home

Arriving into Cairns, had to squeeze my brains to remember how to get to my street.
After beeing on the road for a whole year, I felt indifferent to the place. I just wished I could ride the bike for ever and ever....It took a couple of weeks to appreciate again my little paradise.

Sunny Queensland

They say in Queensland: beautiful one day, perfect the next....quite right..I had wonderful weather riding North (the rain was just behind me) even Mt Bartle Frere , Queensland's highest mountain, pushed a cloud away from its summit to salute me..getting hungry at lunch time, I remember the little Rail cafe at South Jonhstone, it was worth the detour and the scenic route for a good feed and to avoid the crazy traffic on the highway.

NSW to Queensland

Bellingen was like Kuranda, I did not imagine that the area had so much rainforest and twisty roads, very steep to Coffs Harbour, followed country roads to Grafton where the afternoon was lighted up by a huge storm.
Nice to visit Ninbim again, Byron Bay, over the range to Ipswich, Mt Glorious, Sunshine coast...my friend Vincent lent me his brand new Buell, really cool! corners so quickly and handles well on dirt....

New South Wales Alps

Survived the 50oc in the shade in Mildura, the cold winds at Moriac and Geelong and rode straight to Wagga Wagga to warm up. Bathurst was very dry and the Blue Mountains very green...reached the North of Sydney to visit my long time friends Hiroko and David. Then to Singleton, Tamworth. Set base at Walcha and rode the bike in all directions where there were corners...loved the road to Port Macquarie. Lots of bikes on the road on the week-end.Waterfalls and rainforest, it was like be at home in North Queensland
