Approx 244 kilometres from the mouth.

The interesting thing about this morning was that there was a dew.  First dew of the trip.  If I get too many of them I will be in some difficulty as my clothes won’t dry.
The river is almost Gunbarrel straight south and I’m glad I wasn’t trying to go down it a week ago.  There was some southerly today but not too bad.  The sky changed slowly during the day to a little more sunny with less cloud.

Sitting in the last lock..  Lock #1

The lock was at Blanchetown and on the lower side of the lock was huge numbers of pelicans.  I saw a group earlier in  the trip in a line lifting one wing up to shadow the water to see the fish.  They are fascinating birds.

Lots of very nice Queensland design houses on the downstream side on Blanchetown along with freehold shacks and camp grounds.

Up close and personal with a cliff

Just in case you have been wondering how I have been finding my way around.

Swan Reach town is great.  Lots of towns to come  back to.  Sitting in the hotel writing this after a meal overlooking the river and the ferry,  very nice.
