September 28th postcard update |

Have
now been cycling in variable degrees of uprightness Downunder for nigh on
nine months. So far have been spat at, shouted at, run off the road, blown
off the road, soaked, sunburnt, frozen, hailed on, snowed on, starved, over-fed,
over-charged, under-charged, over a possum (a dead one), under a possum
(a tree-climbing one), bitten, stung, dog-chased, car-chased, bitten again,
wounded, x-rayed, stuck in mud, stuck in floods, battered by unseasonable
storms, peppered with shrapnel-like gravel, skimmed by 40-ton logging trucks,
swallowed by bottomless potholes, whiplashed by an argumentative tree, divebombed
by a helmet-hitting harrier, haunted by the eerie call of a morepork (owl),
followed by a fantail (bird), chased by an ostrich, charged at by a boar,
caught in a sheep-jam, held up by a cow-block, bird dropping dropped-on
by a startled starling, met a builder (Gary) and had a nice time. Josie |
Sepember 13th Josie is leaving New Zealand for Australia on 27th September! She's found a boat to take her there and wants to see and cycle as much of that part of the world as possible while she she has the chance. She's starting in Melbourne, then cycling round Tasmania, probably to Brisbane and after that . . . who knows?! We'll bring you any further news as we get it. |
