Yesterday, we arrived in Albury, passing through Corryong ,the pastoral town of Dirk's birth... Discovering his aunt's house on the way (by means of a remembered driveway), we were able to gain valuable advise regarding the best way to get to Albury - the long route following the Murray River - the waterway which is to be our home for the next 5-7 weeks. Fot those of you who don't know Dirk, he is my ex-colleague (from a uni in Kurdistan, Northern Iraq), Top Gear enthusiast, and now... friend and paddle guru (not because he knows all there is to know about paddling, but rather because he paddled the length of the Mississippi and knows about the poisonous snakes and spiders of Australia)!
As we have not yet started, there is little to write, but the canoes have been purchased and we will pick them up and start tomorrow.
Stay posted for photos from my large and awkard to use Nokia!
