Brumby, curious and afraid

The 30th of June 2015 – Eungella to Collinsville

After packing up this morning I say goodbye to a lovely couple who invited me for dinner. I spend the first three kilometres climbing up to get out of the dam area. It’s a good road going up and I decide to walk it in order to preserve my energy. In the back of my…

June 28th and 29th Nebo to Eungella Dam

Today I’m back on the BNT after a few days rest in Mackay. I managed to get a lift back to Nebo yesterday night. I had ridden 50km out of the 95km but it was getting dark. I had no intention to ride on this road in the first place, so I don’t mind getting…

Not feeling that well

The 24th of June – Funnel Creek, lift to Mackay

The 22nd of June – Marlborough to Waverley creek

Today started with an easy road. A little bit of highway followed by a good gravel road leaning slightly downhill. Whilst riding I’m also preparing for my stop in the next city, Mackay. It’s a fair detour, 100km east from the trail. I’m going there to put a proper derailleur back on my bike and…

The 21st of June – Fitzroy River to Marlborough

After more than 9 hours of sleep I feel that I could sleep more. Being the day after my birthday, I think it would be a sin not to. The start of the day is beautiful with a splendid sunrise. As pretty as the sunset yesterday, just I’m more in the mood to enjoy it.…
