An absolute cracker!Yes, yes, more pumps! 10 in one bank this time. Presumably providing water to the horticultural areas beyond.

    Turned out the thread on the gas cylinders was the wrong one, so I took them back to the Boundary Bend Store and they were good enough to refund. Amazing that a 4 pack of steel cylinders of butane gas cost $10.95, and 1.25 litres of water costs $6.50. How does that work!
    Still really quiet out here, no boats except a random paddle steamer this morning, no people and no internet.
    Clocked up the 1000kms this afternoon which is encouraging. Nearly halfway!
