Corowa to a bend in the river near marker 2028 - 3rd November 2015

After a good meal and a good nights sleep we seemed to have recovered fully from our weariness and  we paddled out of Corowa around 7.00 am. The water skiers that annoyed us yesterday were still in bed. We admired some of the waterfront houses along the river going out of Corowa.

We decided to have regular rest stops every 2 hours at Simon's suggestion as he felt our tiredness yesterday was due to having having paddled for 4 hours without a break. This was a good idea and we maintained this practice for the rest of the trip.

Today was the 1st time we really had to navigate. As we got closer to Lake Mulwala there were a number of branches to the river. True to form I had printed the wrong page of the map and there was a section missing that was required. I rang Lisa to tell her and she took a photo of the correct page and sent it to me. Luckily it didn't matter because I didn't get the picture until the next day. Typical Vodaphone!

Toward the end of the day we found a campsite on a bend in the river near marker 2028. It was a lovely spot although previous campers had left some rubbish included a broken folding canvas shade shelter. We were to see a few of these left by the river over the rest of the trip. Disappointing that people don't remove their rubbish and a sign that these folding canvas shelters are not robust enough for camping.

We had a 3 course evening meal, Cup-a-soup, savoury rice and chocolate. Later I was able to lie in the tent listening to the birds and seeing the Southern Cross low on the horizon.
