And we're off!
We went and visited James, a friend of Keith's, at his work today and he gave us all of our camping gear at cost + 10%! So we've got everything we need now, and we'll be departing Melbourne by train tomorrow (Saturday the 9th) to Warrnambool.
From Warrnambool we will begin our 5 day, 281.4km journey of The Great Ocean Road: one of Australia's - and one of the world's- greatest coastal routes. Our cycling guide tells us the landscape ranges from stunning coastal cliffs to beautiful beaches, with spectacular camping grounds to rest our weary heads each night. This has us very excited, to say the least!
Our journey ends in Geelong, and from Geelong we'll train back into Melbourne. Upon returning to Melbourne, we'll come back to Dave's before departing for Tasmania by plane on Friday, December 15th.
We're planning to stay in Tasmania from the 15th of December up until about the 17th of January. We fly into Hobart, and our plan is to cycle up the east coast to Launceston, and then work for the remainder of our time in Tasmania. Then it'll be off to New Zealand to meet up with our good buddy Paul!
