Day 6

We are underway with Barham abeam. Geoff and I are on the raft and Jerry is on the road. We have a lot of our stuff with us on the raft and I guess we will find out what we need that we haven't got when we set up tonight. 

Tonight

The river split  into two along the way, the little Murray and the Murray, This reduced the flow and narrowed the river. In the course of the day we hit a total of 6 stumps or trees, 3 of these were hard hits but did no damage. 

The weather was ideal and the river bank have become lower the further we get away from Torumbarry weir. We have set up camp just below the bridge near Murrabit. We decided to have dinner on the raft tonight and have a fire going on the bank close to the raft.

We have been pestered by flys today but as the sun sets they are going away. We plan tomorrow for Jerry to have a day on the raft and I will drive his car and camper to the next camp. It will be if all goes to plan in from Lake Boga.

Tonights dinner is pork spare ribs again as Jerry realy enjoyed them the other night, cabbage and bacon and a spud in the fire. We are waiting for the coals to build before we start cooking.
