    Hi All,
    Arrived in Gundagai last night after a very long all day drive from Adelaide. A big thankyou to Claire and Will for co-piloting on the drive.
    Set off mid morning after the mandatory visit to the Dog on the Tuckerbox. The river flow is perfect at about 13,000 ML/day, so drifting at about 6km/h and 10km/h when paddling. Very quiet and peaceful. Did not see another person or boat on the river. Just the way I like it!
    Should take about 4-5 weeks to reach the Murray Junction.
