Reiziger Hey Mark. How was the pizza and beer at Bourke. Sounds like a long way between drinks up there. Keep it up.
Reiziger Hey Scott. I had a pint of Balter XPA that went down like a fat kid on a see-saw (hope that isn't politically incorrect??). I have a small supply of home made gin on board for the occasional tipple between towns.
Reiziger Finally realised Penguins is up so great to read about the first five days. Do you have gaffer tape to fix your crocs? Rather you than me in that heat ( and in the kayak)!!
Reiziger Hi Michele. Had to buy some new Croc lookalikes and they are actually far superior. The heat is really challenging and may have had so.e minor hea

Still very quiet up here. I thought there might be the odd fisherman or two in a tinny, but not yet. Haven't seen a single person except in Bourke.

Hi Mark, I have loved reading about your paddling adventure, it’s a very interesting read. Love the photos too. Back here in the big smoke I am enjoying the fringe, walks along the river and my garden. Claire, Joanna and I had a lovely catch up and saw a Night without Kate Bush which we all enjoyed. Rob is in Tasmania with Vanessa enjoying his sailing.? He will be there for 6 weeks. Stay safe and happy paddling. Hope you can enjoy a pub meal and cold beer soon. Lv Elizabeth and Rob x [Elizabeth]
Reiziger Nice start - Mark - all that live stock r saying ‘did u see that one human’ !!!!
