832 kilometres from the mouth.

Was a bit rushed getting to the lock at 9. Left the duck family.  Mum dad and eight babies.
A houseboat was leaving the lock as I was arriving so it all worked out well.
The morning was perfectly calm,  a little cool,  and I was able to get a good rhythm and focus going.  I stopped every hour and then after 3 hours for lunch.  After my call home at lunch a speedboat went past and I head someone call out that they knew me.  It was Aaron who I left at Echuca.  He was having a break of 6 days while his travelling partner was away at a wedding.  They  were just a day behind me at Robinvale.
Went through a fairly short and safe cutting which saved 10 k.  After lunch the wind blew up and  it was a slog except for the last reach where I got some behind me.
The entrance to the caravan park here is pretty special.

You come off the Murray under a little bridge and across the  Darling to the park.

I should have a flag just like Sturt (and Rob)

Booked lock 10 for  8am.  So early start,  it’s a long way to Renmark which is the next major town.  Lots of locks to coordinate on the way.
Bought some more supplies for what I think will be 4 or 5 nights in  the wilderness.
