    Called into Tocumwal this morning for fresh water and butane gas (got the last gas cannister in the whole town, phew!).
    The good weather finally finished today with a thunderstorm and rain starting mid afternoon. It's not really a problem when you’re paddling and fortunately it stopped just as I found my camp-site. Otherwise I have been so lucky with the weather with high 20's maximums and light tail winds.

    Looking forward to seeing the Barmah Forest in the next couple of days. 400 year old river red gums apparently.
