We got away from Swan Hill just after 9am. We did some shopping and fueled up, said goodbye to our old mate from Dodgys Ferry started the little engine and headed downstream.
The river was very wide and not very interesting along the way but the sun was shining and it was very calm.
We came to a point in the river just before. Speewa where the river forked into the main river and an ana branch. We chose the ana branch as it was shorter. As it turned .out it was the right choice and we had no trouble getting through.
We had arranged 3 possible meeting points for Jerry to pick from and he set up just past Beverford down Forest rd.
We got to camp just after 3pm. The camp was good, plenty of wood, a good bank but a large number of Cockatoos. They controlled our life. We couldn't get to sleep and like an alarm clock had us up before dawn the next day.
At night we had some thunder and lightning to our north and south so we packed what we needed to away. As it turned out we missed the rain altogether.
Next stop is Tooleybuc.
