    1A cormorant maybe..
    Great to see more and more pumps powered by solar not dieselA lot of the land has been cleared for grazing. Sometimes right to the riverbank1Lots of these birds along the river. Not sure what they are though!Some of these trees must have been here when Captain Sturt rowed past nearly 200 years agoLots of native (cypress) pines along the bank

    Day 6

    March 11, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Distance travelled 232kms
    Next town Narrandera

    Quite a few fishing boats on the river today, being a Saturday. Thankfully I have yet to see a ski boat!
    The current is definitely slowing, from around 6km/h to around 2 or 3km/h, I assume that's due to the first weir coming up.
    All going well, plenty of good camping spots, and good weather on the horizon.

    TravelerStill channeling nice weather Mark. Yes it’s a bit grim seeing plain dirt all the way to waters edge.
