melbourne

cherry picking
sydney turned out to be an exciting but also an expensive place to stay. i decided to go inland for the cherry season and arrived in hillston which is about 500km west of sydney. the camp ground was already buzzing with people and the season about to start. after filling out the paper work and… Continue reading cherry picking

canyon walk
the next day we went down the sianok canyon that we looked upon from the panorama spot the day before. it is amazing how close to the city the life of the village there is seemingly unaffected. after leaving the village and making some warm up moves at a volleyball net, we quickly found other… Continue reading canyon walk
bukittinggi
i took the bus as the traffic was slightly mad and sumatra is too big to cycle entirely with just one month of visa and plans to visit other parts of indonesia as well. i arrived during the night some five kilometers outside town at a typical bus stop. as it was raining and i… Continue reading bukittinggi
