Hey guys and gals,

I'm Martin from Germany and living in Sydney at the moment. I plan to leave this place after the summer and the wind are gone. I will go to Cairns or Townsville during the winter. So it would be very nice to find some kiters who want to travel with me up the coast. We can stop for every interesting kite spot or sight we want.
I am writing this post so long time before because it has to be organised who has how much time and how to travel (renting cars, buying cars.......)
So actually I'm just looking for nice company and a good kite trip. If you're interested please reply or write a pm.

Goodwinds,

Martin

Hi Martin,

Not trying to scare you, but be aware that there are marine stingers in Queensland waters everywhere north of about Gladstone and they are active from November until around April. You might want to take that into consideration when planning your journey.

Otherwise enjoy your trip, its awesome up there in winter

Thanks for the tip! That's why I want to start the journey in the end of March and travel up with the coast by car.
And it will take a while till we arrive in Cairns ( I reckon 1 month ). And than the jellyfish are hopefully gone :-)
