A nice relaxing day on the river with a long lunch break near Murrabit bridge. Lost my first item in the river today. It was my one bar of soap while I was having a swim / wash prior to dinner. Could have been way worse (eg the phone).
Have been really impressed with the lack of litter along the river. Most of the places I have stopped to camp have been used by lots of people before, and apart from signs of old campfires, there is absolutely no trace of rubbish. Very heartening. Similarly virtually no flotsam on the river.
