A long day's paddle of about 45kms but still enjoying the serenity. Very isolated, with only a few cattle and sheep observing my progress. Onto Wagga tomorrow to reconnect with the human race!

I knew it wouldn't be long before you started another adventure. I'm looking forward to the photos, history lessons and the odd character you meet along the way. Take care, chat soon. Shane G [Shane Gosling]

Had a look around Wagga this morning and indulged myself with a Big Breakfast. I had intended to stay there tonight also, but thought I may as well pushRead more

Nice one👍 lots of camping by the looks of it. I was wondering what your food menu looks like for each day. More canned tuna and noodles?
Traveler Hi Scott. A pretty uninteresting diet. Muesli, skim milk and a coffee stick for breakfast, 5 vitaweet, a small tin of tuna and a muesli bar for lunch, 2 minute noodles and a small tin of tuna for dinner. A few lolly snakes along the way to keep the glucose levels up, but probably overall in calorie deficit ( counteracted by the massive mixed grill I have just demolished at the Narrandera RSL Club!)

Hi All,
I had to negotiate the first of about 6 weirs today. Unlike the Murray, none of them have locks to transfer boats from one level to the other.Read more
Traveler Not really sure, but I would imagine that it is because there was much less river traffic on the Murrumbidgee compared to the Murry and locks are expensive to build and require a full time Lockmaster. A Lockmaster on the Murray said typically he would transfer 3 or 4 boats a day. I doubt they would do that many a week on the Murrumbidgee. All about the $ as usual...

Hi All,
A wild night last night with 60km/h winds, rain and thunderstorms. I thought several times the tent was going to self destruct. I had aRead more
Indeed, Mad March it has been - the antithesis of your tranquil Murray odyssey (last night excepted)! I hope you get a better night tonight. Thanks for all the beautiful photos - stunning sunrises, sunsets and trees. [Eileen Scott]
