886 kilometres to the mouth
Made it to Mildura.  I think it was the enticement of a days rest that did  it.

Some of the reaches were 8k and that takes an hour to paddle up them.  Luckily though the wind was blowing down a few to make it easier. 
Woke up to this.

And I don’t know if you can see a line of pelicans in the picture below.  The white dots.
All night the fish were thrashing and jumping and the pelicans had lined themselves up to heard all the fish into the corner.  Me camping there foiled their plan. 

Just down the river from my camp was a couple who have been living of a houseboat for 18 years. Lovely couple.  I was asked how long I was taking and it’s about average.  Most kayaks take about a month from Albury to their houseboat. They love the life.  They have a camp set up on the bank for their family at  Easter.  I was given a bag of fruit,  which I haven’t had for a while and was great.

The closer I got to Mildura the more houseboats started appearing.  They are getting bigger.
Before Mildura is Gol Gol.  They have a stunning public space between the river and the houses.  Beautiful lawns and trees.  No fences.  Worth a look if you get a chance.
Very windy tonight.  Quite cosy in my tent.
I will be in Mildura for a couple of days.
