1320 Kilometres from the mouth. 800 approx completed.
Left at 10, becoming a bit of a habit. Lots of campers interested in what I am doing and I like a chat as well.
No wind but a reasonable current. Saw the biggest fish eating eagle, over a meter wing span. It must have been there for a reason.
High banks with pretty thick mud on the banks.
I had people tell me about clay rocks and met the first one today not sure what happens if you hit one. Clay sounds soft. Usually and this was the case today there was a lot of water swirling around and I imagine it would turn out ugly.
Went through another anabranch or cutting today around a place called Murphy’s island. Looked ok at first but was very fast running and I was backing across the current to keep away from the snags a couple of times. The second time I felt my heart rate go up for reasons other than exercise. Saved about 6 k.
Rang the Tooleybuc caravan park and organised my site for the night which turned out to be the best ever. Small but it’s got thick mown grass and a power point nearby.
Shoulders and legs good today so for the big test tomorrow. Will it be Boundary Bend or somewhere in the wilderness.
Slow day, plenty of time.
There are several reasons I don’t drink alcohol but I need a reminder every now and again. $21 for a juice and a straight scotch.

Sounds like a good lead up day to the next few days. Good that people are interested, it’s a pretty big deal, even for a 21 year old ( which you are not)😄. Are the banks high all the way now? I am guessing it is still about 200 odd km to Mildura? Good luck over the next few days, good the body is picking up.

I like to let people know what is possible and to have a crack at whatever it is you want to do. On the inside corners the banks are low and sometimes sandy. On the outside corners they can vary from 2 meters to 20. The camps are as good as anywhere but not as many. Mildura is at 887 kilometres from the mouth so be there in about 6 to 8 days.
