A la recherche du légendaire tigre de Tasmanie

De retour du Northern Territory, je suis resté 1 mois jour pour jour à Sydney, puis je suis reparti, destination la Tasmanie.
2 mois que je revais de ce voyage et que je le planifiais a travers mon guide touristique et les divers recits recueillis au fil de mes rencontres.
Le plan etait simple, voir tout ce qu'il y avait à voir, y finir mes 3 mois de "fruit picking", et trouver le légendaire tigre de Tasmanie.

J'ai mange du Kangooroo

Vous savez quoi, mon anniversaire tombait 2 jours après mon arrivée en Australie. Et comme surprise j’ai reçu un cadeau de bienvenue.

Après une première nuit australienne dans un des plus anciens backpacker de Sydney, Jolly Swagman, bien mais un peu trop impersonnel, je suis tombé par chance au Wood Duck Inn, un backpacker très spécial où je suis resté plus de 2 mois.



Le Wood Duck où j'ai logé pendant 2 bons mois est un petit coin de paradis à l’intersection de William St et Hyde Park, tout près de la City et à 30 secondes du Botanic Garden.

Bâti sur 3 étages, il possède un « rooftop » avec une vue unique de Sydney et de sa Tower. Lieu particulier où se retrouve tous les backpackers pour boire un verre de « goon », fumer une clope, cuisiner son repas, regarder la télé confortablement installés dans les canaps, manger un « bbq » assis sur surf ou tout simplement profiter du soleil.

Si vous chercher le top au niveau quality street, passez votre chemin. Mais si vous êtes à la quête d’un endroit sûr et accueillant après de longs trips sur les routes austaliennes, faîtes-y un stop. L’ambiance de surfeur branleur y règne, avec 50 pieux au maximum, ce qui permet de connaître rapidement tout le monde. La plupart des collocs se connaissent car certains sont là depuis 4-5 mois, d'autres vont et viennent entre des trips à Perth, Darwin, Broome, Alice SPring, Melbourne, Brisbane ou encore Cairns. Pour les petits nouveaux, c’est simple, soit ils décident de faire un long stop soit ils reviendront.

Le staff est vraiment génial, grâce une petite belge au sourire ravageur. Surtout ne lui dites pas qu’elle est petite, elle vous en voudra beaucoup. Toujours prête à rendre service, elle sera à votre écoute et vous donnera les meilleurs conseils possibles. Dans l’équipe, il y a aussi Timo, le hollandais qui remplace Cindy pendant ses jours off, Alec et Julien qui font le « night managing » et Wendy qui aide pour le "cleaning". J’ai fait ma petite entrée dans l’équipe en faisant le cleaning pour payer ma « rent ». J’ai vite trouvé un 2nd job en tant qu’ « account manager ». Avec $20 de l’heure en « cash in hand » et aucune rent à payer, j’ai pu mettre un peu d’argent de côté.

Avec ces 2 boulots, mes semaines étaient assez pleines avec à peine 2 après-midi "off". Cependant, les activités le soir sont débordantes, entre leçons de salsa improvisées, tournées des bars sales, entrées gratuites dans les clubs avec bière offerte le mardi et le jeudi, les concours de t-shirts mouillés, les soirées tournois billards ou quiz au bar d’en bas, les "bbq" de kangooroo sur le rooftop accompagnés de shows aborigènes.






Avec tout ça, je trouvais quand même le temps de taper le foot au « Domain », juste à 30 secondes, histoire d’éliminer le surplus d’alcool. J’ai même eu droit à un tour aux blue mountains, au frais de la princess. En fait, après m'avoir mis dans un de dortoir de 8 mecs, j'ai fait la gueule pendant pendant 2 jours et comme je bossais quand même bien, j'ai été ré-componsé. Merci Cindy !

Lui, c’est mon pote Skippy le kangooroo, que j’ai rencontré en bas des « blue mountains »






Ca y est, c’est fini Sydney. Voilà déjà plus de 3 mois que je suis à Sydney. 3 mois de bons moments, 3 mois à préparer mon prochain trips, 3 mois à courir dans le Botanic Garden et à jouer au foot au Domain, 3 mois à bosser, 3 mois à boire, 3 mois à faire des courses aux Woolworths de Town Hall, 3 mois à écouter les histoires de mes potos, 3 mois à leur raconter des conneries et 3 mois à manger du chocolat quand ça va pas.


Ca y est, c'est reparti. Prochaine étape Darwin et les mangues.
