Today is another noteworthy day as the river markers have dropped from 4 digits to 3... That's right! We have now less than 1000 km left to paddle.
It was an ordinary day, as paddling days go. We didn't truly paddle the 58 kms the numbers indicate as we cut off over 10km with more shortcuts (these shortcuts are awesome!). The highlights of the day were passing through shady tree lined lanes in the river (the trees were formerly on islands which are now submerged) and at the 1020 river marker, being invited for pies and beer by 5 friends from Mildura camping at the side of the river. They sent us off with a packet of hotcross buns from Coward's Cakes in Mildura and 2 cans of XXXX GOld!
