The animal life sounds a bit more interesting along this stretch. I expect those audiobooks make a welcome diversion. [Eileen]
Viajante Yes what are you listening too now? I guess you downloaded things given the sparse internet. I’ve listened to some great Conversations recently.

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 showersLeia mais

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

Viajante How frustrating about the shower. Hope you sat away from everyone at the golf club ha ha!
I hope you enjoyed a good meal and a cold beer at the Golf Club. Too bad about the shower! [Eileen]

Just catching up on progress after a few days away from the computer (including a day at WOMADelaide) and enjoying your beautifully illustrated account of adventures along the river. Magnificent sunrises, trees and wildlife! Pity about all those goats though - I imagine they are mostly feral. Quite a contrast between the welcome at Nelia Gaari Station and Medindee caravan park! [Eileen]
Viajante Yes, lots of goats. By far the most common animal, much moreso than sheep. Greg at Nelia Gaari said some are farmed and some feral. They round them up into yards by motorbike, then onto the abattoirs, then sent frozen mainly to the US.
OK, Thanks. [Eileen]
