New beginnings

Cairns - one sleep to go...

The alarm is set for 4am, the bags are packed but I doubt we find the good night sleep we are hoping for. And that's not because I need to watch the Men's Wimbledon Final! So I try to find a bit of calm and peace by letting a few thoughts percolate through the darkness of our hotel room. Now that the big toes have been dipped into the Pacific Ocean on a beautiful sunny Port Douglas day I am at peace with the ending of Coddiwomple. For a while everything happened so fast. Our story written while travelling on a bicycle for most of the first half of 2022 seemed to disappear in the excitement and planning of the next adventure. And I wasn't ready to let it go as yet. But now I am.

Spending time with Mick and Fran at their little caravan kingdom in Cairns allowed us to recharge, relax and reconnect. We are so grateful for every conversation shared, for the encouraging messages and the kind thoughts. We take them with us, way out West, where we hope to find tasty new beginnings and a new flavour of life. 

It is soon time to switch from ready, set, pedal to ready, set, cook! Somewhere along the way I saw the slogan "life is in the detours" and I have the feeling that we may just about to embark on one. Whether there will be a "Coddiwomple on detour" blog remains to be seen. 

But for now let's get cookin' and spread the love!

Ready for a new beginning.

    All the best on today's big series of 'connections'. It was in 2015 in Switzerland that Joe and I made a similar three 'connections' but with trains, not aircraft. Send us a postal address when you are ready xxxx

    I am a little intimidated expressing myself after reading your amazing posts from the past 5 months or so - I reckon you two should could find a gig in travel publishing. It's been one hellava journey. I'm sure the next phase of the adventure will have nearly as many twists and turns as your previous 6600kms. See how you go introducing a few vego meals!

Accidents happen

It's slow going writing this particular blog post as I am doing it with only one functional hand.  After almost 7000kms on the bikes, injury found me while running.   I wish I had a fantastic story to tell, but I simply tripped on a rocky trail and fell over.  You know that meme that goes "If you want to know if you're old fall over.   If people laugh you're still young,  if people panic then you're old!"  I can confirm, I am definitely old! It probably didn't help that two of my fingers were quite obviously either dislocated, broken or both.   I begged Kerstin to remove my wedding ring before the finger started swelling, being three hours from the hospital I was imagining the worst case scenario of the ring tourniqueting my finger and its subsequent death and amputation.  Poor Kerstin, this kind of thing makes her faint, but she gritted her teeth and pulled off the ring.  I then gritted my teeth and asked the ex-army maintenance guy to try and relocate my

Learning a new language

There's plenty of things I anticipated learning when we accepted the positions at Avon Downs.  I thought I'd learn a lot about cooking for groups, about different cuts of beef and how to prepare them.  Maybe some stuff around the logistics of running a community which is 260km from the closest centre, and even then, its still Mt Isa... But I didn't really expect to learn a new language.  To be fair, I haven't spent a lot of time in the Territory.  But they really do speak their own dialect here.  Much different from costal Queensland, which is a slower, relaxed kind of Australian drawl.  Here it's fast, brief and usually mumbled.  I think I spent the first month constantly asking people to repeat themselves, answering the phone is always a diabolical risk.  And trying to understand the radio chat, impossible! Then there is all the slang and local shorthand.  To be fair some of the slang I suspect has been created by the Ringers themselves, as they are on their own l

Generation Z's perspective

Q:  "Which is more important, the journey or the destination?' A:  "The company." Introducing the team at Avon Downs Station.  This video was made as part of a competition between AACo Stations for the Employee Challenge.  It's a great way to show the outside world what life on Avon looks like.  It will change your perspective on who works on Cattle Stations. There is a lot to be said for keeping company with Generation Z.  The stockcamp (the staff who do all the stock work) are all aged between 16-23 years old.  We feel pretty privileged to be given access and insight into their world.  They are generous when asked for explanations of everything from the work they do, to how the social system between them as individuals, as a team and as a Station works.  I'm pretty sure the education is going both ways!  If you want to be reassured about the future, then I recommend spending some quality time with it.
