    Hi All,
    I had to negotiate the first of about 6 weirs today. Unlike the Murray, none of them have locks to transfer boats from one level to the other. This "portage" involved emptying the kayak of all the gear, lugging it all to the top of the riverbank, trying to pull the kayak up to the top then along a very rough track to the downstream part of the river about 500m away. The whole exercise took about 1.5 hours and was quite exhausting! Only 5 more to go :-(
