I saw some rock wallabies >(smaller versions of a kangaroo that live amongst the granite rocks on the >island) and a number of new birds. > >My second day (70+ miles) out of Townsville, "The Hill" that three other >cyclists I've met on the road described turned out to be 500', not 3000 -- >those who told me did the climb at the end of their day, not fresh like I was, >and didn't have an altimeter. I was all psyched to do the full climb, and was >surprised to find the "crest" sign so quickly. Did a short hike to the lookout >and then went on to finish 78 miles -- and got some knee twinges. I stayed >two days to rest and do some laundry, and a good thing too since it was >raining this morning. > >Right now, I'm scheduled to return to Brisbane on the 17th of Sept., and it >looks like I'll make it on or before then. I've cycled 150 pleasant if dry and >warm miles in the prior two days, and am now in Mission Beach taking a day off >(it was raining hard this morning, but cleared up this afternoon). Tomorrow >I'll try for Milea Milea if the weather holds. Several cyclists I've met on >the road commented on the rain in and near Cairns, even though it shows none >on the weather reports. Oh, well, no worries! > >For any that are interested, I think that a great 2-3 week trip could be made >just in the Cairns area, particularly if you want to mix cycling, snorkeling, >trekking, and general sight seeing -- there's a lot to do and see here, >provided you miss the monsoon season (I am). > >Tailwinds, >Tony > > > > > >------------------------ Yahoo!
