I’m reading Jupiter’s Travels right now. It’s about a guy who motorbiked 63,000 miles (that’s over 100,000km!) around the world…starting in 1974! His recounting of biking in Australia really made me miss Australia.
I miss the sun and warmth, the laid-back approach to life, the friendliness of most people, and of course the lizards, echidnas, and wombats. I even miss the spiders.
But I have to accept that I’ve decided to live and work in Toronto for now. As much as I love Australia, it’s not where I should be at the moment.
So as Chopper would say, “Harden the fuck up, Nick!”
PS: Matt, thanks for that HTFU reminder.

Whoops, I just found this comment now!
I’m game for just about anything in Cape York. I’ve been as far north as Daintree, and really want to head all the way up.

Haha, gold mate!
It’s philosophy we should all live by
And I miss my home country too.
How about a Cape York peninsula dirt bike adventure?
