“Our
battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go.
But no matter, the road is life.” – Jack Kerouac
Mr.Rainbow has been packed, un-packed, reconfigured &
re-packed a number of times and in a number of different ways in the past
couple of weeks. We’ve journeyed a few thousand kilometers since the last
posting… 1550km from Silverton to Lismore and another 2000km from there to
Cairns. We’ve even had a few “houseguests” along the way, the human kind as
well as the critter kind…
I have been really pleased with my human travel partners, Fletcher
& Benny Mac are both such chilled, fun, easy going, companionable &
considerate men. It really made the trip!
Am also really pleased with my newly adopted kitten, Atherton, he's another really chilled out dude and has adapted himself to van living very
well.
I found Cairns much too hectic, so I promptly headed for the
hills! Started out in Kuranda (amazing creative markets there), watched the
Solar Eclipse at Wonga Beach and just spent the last week exploring the World
Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation.
Total Solar Eclipse
I watched the Solar Eclipse from Wonga Beach with a small gathering of people, what started out as just your average sunrise turned into something quite special when the sky started to darken and the clouds cleared just enough to catch a glimpse of a silver rimmed moon shadow.
It was pretty cool to be able to view such an amazing natural phenomenon.
P.S. looked nothing like the photoshopped photo above.
