Cycle Travel Far North Queensland

I love travelling by bike.

Here is a little snippet of iPhone shots of my first cycle trip, with Cycle Queensland in Far Northern Queensland.

Next trip: Cycling across France in May with my mum – Stay tuned!Baby Platypus! (Or is it Platypi, plural?)

The sugar refining factory of Gordonvale.

So of course, this song is in my head for the rest of the day.

“Hope the crumbs in my pocket can keep me for another night
And if the blue sky mining company won’t come to my rescue
If the sugar refining company won’t save me 
Who’s gonna save me?” – Midnight Oil

This is how I roll. Darth’s the name. Darth Vader. *Cue heavy uphill breathing and you get the idea

The stunning Milla Milla falls, of Far North Queensland. 

New friend! This gentleman is about to work on the Mercy Ship as a doctor off the coast of West Africa. These cyclists are a good bunch.

A welcome into town from the school kids! Their teacher said they were too distracted to concentrate, with all these cyclists passing by.

The dreamy rolling hills of the hinterland

Queensland’s highest pub, and a curious mutt!
