Day 25, Lock Seven – Wiela, 6 Nov

Tony

Took a day off of paddling yesterday just to fix a few problems and we’re pretty much back in business, albeit with a ‘new look’ to our vehicle – ha, ha!



Go down a narrow creek just five metres wide, the flow’s great, but 15 minutes down I realize it’s not taking me anywhere good so I turn around and it takes me another 45 minutes fighting against the current to get back to the Murray. I’ve wasted a whole hour and loads of energy - damn!


I’m passing through some high cliffs now, it’s good to have another change of scenery. Another milestone – it’s two signs, one on either side of the river, but separated by 6km, one signifying the border between South Australia and New South Wales and the other for SA meeting Victoria. Seems a bit strange that the SA border doesn’t come straight down across the river but there it is!



Distance paddled: ‘84’ km
