Hi, I'm Chris (M/30) looking for a bicycle partner for a tour in Australia for a probable duration of approx. 8 weeks.

The period should preferably start around 18-26/10/2003 and coudl last until 13-20/12/2003. This could still vary since I haven't booked the airplane tickets, I'd like to book them soon though.

Now, where? What about Brisbane to Melbourne and also Tasmania (at the end). In addition to that an option could be to spend the first one week to 10 days in the region Cairns-Townsville and then go south (by bus?) to Brisbane.

I haven't made up my mind yet how to travel (light and sleeping in hostels/backpackers or with camping gears and sleeping only occasionnaly in hostels/backpackers), this will of course depend of the potential co-cyclist(s).

Hope to hear soon from any of you and wish good luck with your next cicycle trip, Christophe (amerride@yahoo.com)
