Today I saw something moving along the surface of the water in the distance and was surprised when I got closer to see that it was a kangaroo swimming across! I stopped and watched it struggle on. When it got to the other bank, it just flopped out onto the mud gasping, it spent so much energy crossing. Roos – not designed for swimming!
Other
than that, a fairly quiet day, had some frustrations struggling with phone
reception and not finding Pan for some distance - was so hungry by the time we
met up at the end point! There was no flow to the river at all so I had to work
all the way, and whenever I rested for a moment to have a drink break, it would
take some effort to get moving again. Thankfully it was overcast so I didn’t
have the sun baking me and draining excess energy! Caught some more nice paddle
steamers and houseboats and met a fisherman who swears by using mozzarella
cheese for bait!
Distance paddled: 58 km
