A big day to get to Tilpa, with 7 hours paddling, 2 hours portaging around the Tilpa weir and 2 hours due diligence at the Tilpa Hotel. Found a camp site at about 7.30pm. Phew!
Tilpa is a tiny settlement on the Darling, and the Tilpa Hotel was terrific. No airs or graces, full of friendly locals and lots of history everywhere you look.
Onwards towards Wilcannia tomorrow. About one third the way to Wentworth.
Glad to get some internet here and catch up on what's happening in the world.
Hope all is well back in the civilisation.
