Day 10 Echuca

1714 kilometres to the mouth.

Did a couple more k than  that.  The gps lost battery just before we arrived at the caravan park.
Last night met Aaron and Andy at the Barmah pub who are doing the same thing.  They had come into the camp just behind me.  We decided to paddle together to Echuca.
Made good time but the south easterlies were a struggle. Sometimes sailing but not offen. Passed the mouth of the Goulburn River. Banks are getting higher and exits muddier.
Had to negotiate a high bank to get to the caravan park.  Would have been pretty tough without Aaron’s help.  If any future camps are like this I will just have to leave the boat near the water and carry the essentials up to the camp.
I had planned to buy some bits for the wheels so it didn’t dint the beautiful machine but just had time to get wire to replace the lost clip.

I have be out of Echuca tomorrow as everybody is coming for the long weekend and no campsites are available. I imagine every where else along the river will be busy as well.

  1. Must be great to have some company, are they heading to Adelaide too?
    If you have to leave to yak at the rivers edge make sure it has 2 ropes (1 each end) on it if the river rises. A swinging boat can get up a bit of momentum and break free.
    Cheers
