Day 12, Sand Bar Bend – Barham, 23 Oct

 

I’m naming today 'Four Seasons Day', because the weather seemed to go through an annual cycle three times over. Temperature-wise, it was comfortable throughout so a good day for paddling.

 

 

Said hello to a roo drinking at the bank. Tired after a days paddling, I was excited to finish when I rounded a bend and thought I saw Barham on the horizon, only to see a river distance sign saying ‘1534’, the remaining kilometres to the mouth of the river, which meant another 10km for me to arrive at Barham – bummer! Well, I dug in and slogged out the remainder, pulling up right in front of the caravan, in a site donated to us by the nice folks at Barham Caravan and Tourist Park – thanks heaps, guys!

 

 

Distance paddled: 68 km
