We woke to horses going around the Nyah trotting track. We pack up in the dark and watch the sun rise before wheeling our boats back to the boat ramp and ready for the days paddle.
The river is flowing well with big eddies on the bends. We make good pace and with the help of a fast flowing and tight anabranch at Murphy's island we are on track to being at Tooleybuc for lunch. A rest on the nice green grass and lunch from the local cafe set us up for the afternoon paddle.
The river in this section changes personalities often. Some times it is narrow twisty and fast flowing and at other times it is wide and slow. The bush goes from dry to lush to open farm land. After every 10 minutes you feel like you are on another river.
We pass the famous Bitch and Pups rapid and given the water level is high we had no problem with negotiating them.
We then push on to the Wakool river junction where Sarg had already chosen a nice sandy beach to camp on.
Should be another pleasant evening for sleeping.
