    Sylvain Eliade Anne Ryard Et plus si affinités... Un an en Océanie — récit de voyage Écrit et publié au cours du voyage (et un peu après le retour), d'octobre 2012 à mai 2014, sur http://oz.journalintime.com/ Publié en livre en mai 2014. Copyleft : cette oeuvre est libre, vous pouvez la copier, la diffuser et la modifier selon les termes de la Licence Art Libre disponible sur le site http://www.artlibre.org De Dijon à Melbourne 3 J-30 — Partir Partir en Australie. Un an. Et plus si affinités. Ce projet, que j’ai à cœur, n’est pas neuf. Quand je suis parti deux mois en va- cances là-bas, en février et mars 2009, je suis un peu tombé amoureux. Je n’étais parti qu’après avoir subi la brusque envie de changer de vie, de voir le monde. Je n’avais quasiment jamais quitté la France, et le fait que des amies partent en Aus- tralie cette année-là m’a motivé à aller y faire un tour. Car on pouvait faire dif- ficilement plus loin pour un premier voyage en avion. Mais tout cela, je l’ai déjà raconté, en large et en travers1, donc je ne vais pas m’éterniser. L’Australie m’a conquis et depuis lors, je n’ai eu qu’une envie, c’est d’y retourner plus longtemps, pour en voir plus, en vivre plus. Trois ans et demi plus tard c’est acté : je reverrai l’Australie dans un mois. Pour un an au moins. Cette fois-ci, je ne pars plus seul, nous partons à deux.
