Yay!
I successfully talked the store manager into giving me 5 weeks off work to go cycle touring. One week for the World Science Fiction Convention, Aussiecon 4, and then four weeks to get home--although I'll not use all four of those weeks, in all likelihood, although I'm no fast tourer. I read il padrone say he knew someone who did it in 2 weeks? ... I shudder to think.
As yet my planning is highly vague--"avoid Newell Hwy" is nailed down, so am investigating Hume Hwy, although am seeing as it's the main freight way for Melb->Syd. For the a chunk of NSW I intend to come upwards via New England Hwy, or along roads which follow it if there are any--seeing as I toured the northern NSW coast earlier this year--and jump on a train at the Gold Coast to avoid the traffic on the last bit of leg back.
I scored the most highly original reason at work for wanting time off
