    Another beautiful autumn day with sunny skies and light winds. I have been so lucky with the weather, but I think that may be about to change.
    Went through Lock 7 this morning where the Lockmaster was kind enough to give me 4 x 600ml bottles of cold mineral water after I told him I was running out of water. It was interesting that the water level difference across the weir was only about 0.3m compared to 6m+ up near Albury. Shows how flat this part of the country is. Should be into SA tomorrow if things go to plan.
