A long day, with another portage around a weir which took a couple of hours, then hard to find a campsite until a suboptimal one came up about 6.30pm.
A massive electrical storm last night which scared the wits out of me, with some lightning strikes seeming to be less than 200m away. Storms are great spectacles when you’re on the back verandah but not so good in a tent in the middle of nowhere!
Lost my combination cutlery utensil somehow, but still had a teaspoon which I use for the alum, so able to eat my 2 minute noodles and tinned tuna, but no knife now, so the start of fishing will have to wait a bit. Otherwise all going well. Feel a bit of paddle fitness coming back which is great.

Yes Australian darters or sometimes called snake bird. Thanks to Pizzetti and Knight bird app!

ReisendeOne of yesterday’s brainwaves questions was where do the Darling and the Murray meet - we go it right due to your trip so thanks!
ReisendeYes, they look like a snake when they swim, with just there head and long neck above water.
