The 31st of May 2015 – Emu Creek to Blackbutt and Nanango

  This morning I ride back up on the other side of the valley and I’m soon hitting the tar.   Cyclists can take the short way to Blackbutt, the next town, and I gladly take the easy option. Arriving mid morning in town, there is enough time for a big second breakfast and to…

The 30th of May 2015 – Emervale Station to Emu Creek via Eskdale

Once again I should not have slept in a Hut or any building that is not a house. Around midnight I was feeling itchy all over. It was probably a mosquito or some other sort of bug. The mattress I’m sleeping on looks very dirty and I’m pretty sure more animals than humans have been…

Vincent and the chocolate factory and the endorphine. A tale of a drug addict – Murphy’s Creek to Emervale Station

This morning I sleep in a little, this bed is so comfortable and we even have a heater. My German roommate Phillip is also taking it easy. I get out of bed knowing that a nice breakfast will be served for me. Lyne is making me eggs and bacon on toast, she also keeps offering…

Wednesday the 27th of May – Brisbane to Laidley via Rosewood

Today is the day Michelle, my girlfriend, and I fear. It is the 5th time she has come to meet me somewhere along the trail and spent a few days with me. We are getting used to the goodbyes, but we both know that today there will be tears. After five days in the warmth…

Thursday the 21st of May 2015 – Boonah to Brisbane

Today I’m heading to the big city. The packing is easy. The tent is dry, the air is warm. Thanks to a few followers on social media, I found accommodation at the last minute in Brisbane. A fellow bikepacker is happy to host me, and another one is offering to meet me halfway and ride…
