Day 7, Tocumwal – Picnic Point, 18 Oct


 
Another cold night and a cold but pleasant misty morning. The day got hot and it was nice paddling, the only obstacle being a tight zig-zagging section. Saw an old steam train by the river, a hawk swooping down for ducklings and then about 20 roos all drinking on a beach (not XXXX Gold, but that would make a great advert!). I stopped and slowly went for my camera but one of them saw me before I could get it out and they all shot off.

 
Met Pan at Morgan’s Beach near Ulupna Island for a quick break. Damn, it’s hot in my paddling clothes today!

 
I have about 150km to cover today and tomorrow to reach Barmah, so I paddle hard and stop when I realize I’ve done 90km today – that’s good, I won’t have so long to travel tomorrow! I warm up some grub in my billy can, set up my camp and turn in.
