A nice relaxing day at Nelia Gaari Station doing some much needed maintenance on the kayak, clothes washing and sorting out my gear. I also had 4 showers today, making up for lost time after a month without one. It was only water pumped straight from the river, but it felt fantastic!
The hospitality shown by Greg and Lily was quite extraordinary. Greg dropped an egg and bacon roll into me this morning after I told him how much I enjoyed the one in Wilcannia, more beers were delivered tonight, then a KFC meal which Lily had brought back from her trip to Broken Hill today! All this quite unbidden and highly embarrassing. They only wanted $20 for the 2 nights which was ridiculous. I gave them considerably more than that which they were very reluctant to accept.
A,great experience in country hospitality, and we agreed to keep in touch.
3 or 4 more days to Wilcannia, then it's the start of the home stretch.
Problems with the mobile tower around d here apparently, which is why these posts are delayed.

TravelerWould have been good to see the before and after. I take it the maintenance was a good clean and wax?? I couldn’t think of any other maintenance you would need to do unless you have a hidden propeller in there😂

TravelerThat’s great hospitality! I bet the combination of a shower, beer and a KFC dinner felt pretty good!
