How To Keep Cycle Going While Away (no Fish)

Hey guys,
My 5 gallon sole inhabitant passed this afternoon, a result of me forgetting to test the water during a fish in cycle, and I'm going on a 2 month vacation in December. Is there any way to keep the cycle going during this time, do when I get back the tank is fully cycled?
Cheers

You could ask someone to keep adding ammonia to the tank (google how to do a fishless cycle) while you’re gone, but other than that you’ll probably just want to start over when you get home.

I live in Australia, so no ammonia. What if I just chuck a piece of raw prawn in there?

You could or one of those vacation feeders in a media bag. Seems all their good for is releasing ammonia.
