Day 14, Caelli Lane - Speewa Punt, 25 Oct




Another good paddling day and I get to our caravan park well ahead of time, I can’t see Pan as I pass, he couldn’t check in to our site just yet, so I plough ahead. Took a shortcut and found myself suddenly tearing through this rapid-like section 200m long and 30m wide, had to be alert and nimble - a nice exhilarating change of pace from the normal drifting! I pass Speewa Island and Pan ends up picking me up at Speewa Punt, where there’s a cable ferry that carries cars across the river two at a time.




After an interview and some photos with the Swan Hill Guardian, we meet the Swan Hill Lions Club at the RSL Club for a good feed - thanks to Greg Cruickshank and the rest of the Lions Club for their help and donation and to the RSL club and it’s members for contributing greatly to our kayak raffle.


Thanks to BIG4 Swan Hill Riverside holiday park for donating the site to us – right at the water’s edge where the Little Murray River meets my Mighty Murray River - perfect!
