Thanks to the family for putting up with my crazy plan.
Thanks to the Monday kayak guys who introduced me to Victorian rivers and lakes and Kayaking generally.
Thanks to Rob for watching out for me,  the lending of gear and moral support along the way.
Thanks to Mel Taylor for getting me fit enough to even think about a thing like this and the advice along the way.
Thanks the Elizabeth and Toni for the medical advise.
Thanks to Grant and his friends for finding my phone and chasing after me.
Thanks to the two young geezers (later to become 3) and the info you shared.  Truly impressive paddlers.
Thanks to the makers of SPOT.  Makes solo trips like this possible.  It should be used more widely.
Thanks to the residents of the Clayton’s Bay caravan park.  Hospitality at its best.
Thanks to the Victorian Sea Kayak Club. Great organisation and great people in it.
Thanks to Rohan and East Coast Kayaks for the magnificent machine.

Thanks to the Broadmeadows Pool for allowing me to practice safety drills.

Overview map

The overall average was just above 40 kilometres per day,  which includes rest days. The total distance was 2160 Kilometers.

The things that stand out in my mind are the generosity of people,  the fragility of the river,  especially the banks,  and the birds.  The amazing pelicans.

Thank you for your interest.
