Thursday, 31th of March: Somewhere after Deniliquim - One tree (Hay)

Hi all,

just saw that was missing:

In short: after having packed my stuff I headed towards Hay, where I hoped to get some more information about the next days (which way etc).

Wednesday, 30th of March: Echuca - "Some-where-after-Deniliquin" (114km)

Hi Again

I started the day with some site-seeing:

Tuesday, 29th of March: Axeldale - Echuca

I first woke up at 4h30... jet-lagged. So after some checks on the internet, I went as sleep again, waking up very late: 10h30! :-)

Monday, 28th of March: Woodend - Lake Epalock - Axeldale (78 / 150km)

The ride was worth it. Passing the back country with different agriculture. Mainly grapes but as well cows, sheaps and even Llama... known from one of my last trips ;-) Unfortunately, they did not answer in Spanish, when I called them. in fact: they did not answer at all... ;-)

Sunday 27th of March: Melbourne - Woodend (72km)

The flight to Melbourne was the best long one I ever had: plenty of place, even possible to really sleep flat. Good menu even if a little bit slow: it took more than one hour before it was possible to get sleep. My neighbour from New Zealand was quite pleasent as well.

Saturday, 26th of March: Dubai to Melbourne....

Arrived in Dubai my wrench tool was taken: they "scan" you just after disembargment, not right before going on the plane.

Friday, 25th of March: With some delay... (0 km)

With some delay...
Friday, 25th in the evening I started with the "usual" sad part: saying goodbye to my beloved ones and going to the airport.

Bike is ready...

... and I just need to test it a little bit.
Here the picture:

Start is nearing: you can do something!

Hi all
time is passing fast; the start of the journey is nearing.
Since I took the decision to cross Australia by bike, some changes happened:
- Australia was visited by strong storms and big fires.
- North African country started to manifest again their leadership.
- Japan is now fighting against the results of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power.


Therefor I wanted to add a little drop and rise some funds for a nature relevant project. So I created another blog:

I'm very happy that my dearest Franziska was "ok" to let me go in April and for the spiritual strength she gives me. Thank you so much <3 <3 <3 :-)
