Another day alone in the rainforest | Barron Gorge NP | Vlog 68 & 69

I’ve been cheating a little bit with this post. On my 68th day of travelling, I stayed in my hostel. I needed a plan to get started on the rest of my travels in Australia. My diving course finished, and I’ve been in Cairns long enough. While doing my research, I discovered the Greyhound bus. It drives all along the east coast and has an unlimited 45 days pass. This way, I can get to Melbourne with all stops in between without worrying about anything.

Also, they have free wifi onboard, which is a big bonus for all the long distances! In saying that, I’ll have to come back to Australia at one point to see the centre of Australia and Tasmania. I will need more time than I have on this three months visa!

I am still booked in for extra nights at the hostel, so I went to the rainforest again. Since I also wanted to see some waterfalls, Barron Gorge National Park was the best option. There were no buses to get me there, so I hired a bike! It was beautiful biking there, but I underestimated the hills. 

Another day spent alone in the rainforest, check! Luckily, no crocodiles on the way! Lucky me, it can get crazy here in Australia! I will feel that in my legs for the next couple of days! But a good day is always worth any effort.

My east coast adventure is about to start, and I can’t wait. With my Greyhound bus booked in, things will even get better. I’ll keep you updated on all destinations and daily activities! Sending you much love from Australia, and let me know whenever someone wants to call! I love all the reactions to this crazy adventure! Thanks for following along.
