• Day 13

    Feb 21–24, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 34 °C

    1216 kms to Wentworth
    Next town: Tilpa

    Cloudy and a bit cooler today which made the portage around the downstream Louth weir a bit more bearable, but still a 2 hour slog.
    I think there are 7 weirs altogether, so 4 down and 3 to go.
    Passed Dunlop and Tilby Stations today, both of which were major wool producers in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unfortunately the river level is 6 or 8 metres below the surrounding countryside so you can't see much.
    Algae levels a bit less than the last few days which is good, but still present as a green sheen here and there. No dead fish which is a good sign.
