    Sunrise. Always a serene time on the river. Went back to sleep afterwards...

    Day 5

    March 10, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Distance travelled 190kms
    Next town Narrandera

    Very cold last night, a minimum of 7 degrees according to BOM. Quite cosy in my new sleeping bag thankfully, as it was the cold nights that was probably the worst of the Murray trip.
    Made it to Currawarna State Forest reserve after a 45km paddle today. Have to keep reminding myself that it’s the journey not the destination, so occasionally I stop paddling, stretch back in the kayak and drift for a while listening to the sounds of the river. Very pleasant. Saw 2 tinnies today, and had a brief chat with the fishermen. Nice to have some human contact!
