Next town Barham
3 days ahead of schedule

Nice peaceful day going through Gunbower National Park, only a few fishermen and the odd camper about the place. No pump houses, jetties, shacks or other infrastructure which had been lining the banks down from Echuca. You can almost imagine Aboriginals padding along dusty paths on the banks or out in their bark canoes.
Pretty slow going with not much current again, and head winds :-(
Running out of food so I might try a spot of fishing. Hoping raw potato may work as bait otherwise might have to try and dig something up out of the bank. My back is still pretty sore, hoping it won't get any worse.
