    Day 39

    18 maart 2024, Australië ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    231 kms to Wentworth
    Next town: Wentworth

    Made it into Pooncarie after a long paddle with the current slowly dropping away to nothing due to the effect of the Pooncarie weir. In fact I went past Pooncarie by a kilometre or so as there was absolutely no visible sign of the town from the river!
    I'm always nervous about pitching the tent in a town and leaving it unattended, but as usual there was no issue, with Pooncarie (population currently 40) being a very pleasant place.
    Went to the pub for dinner and had a couple of beers and a pizza which went down a treat.
