1790  kilometres from the mouth.

From Sandspit Creek to Picnic Point Caravan Park.

Didn’t have the same energy today,  but got here.  I must be running out of vegetables.  Haven’t had any for a while.
Barmah Forrest is huge and very similar all the way.  Very low banks almost to water level sometimes and masses of low gum forests which appear lower at times than the Murray. Seem to be lots more small birds.  There was a colony of wrens at the camp and each time I moved they checked where I had been for anything new. 
All the creeks are blocked off with gates to hold the water in the Murray. No beaches with the banks dropping off steeply into deep water.  Came across a school group scrub bashing beside the river in reasonably rough country. 
I hauled the boat up on the bank last night and must have flicked off one of the wheel clips on the tall grass.  Pretty lucky the

wheel didn’t fall off during the morning.  I have half fixed it but need a bit of wire to 3/4 fix it.
I will probably make Barmah tomorrow.  That will be the first shop I have stopped at since Yarrawonga.
Been little or no phone reception for the last two days.  Expect it will be like that till Echuca.
