Not long after launching we caught up with Pam and Geoff who had stopped to have breakfast. Usually they paddle for an hour before breakfast. They had camped only a couple of bends in the river downstream of us. In their Pacific Raider fiberglass kayak they paddle faster than us. They seemed to take more rest breaks so we were passing them and then they would pass us.
A couple of kangaroos came down to see what we were up to when we took a break at Dick's Island. They seemed unfussed by our presence.
It was a long day paddling. At lunch Geoff and I had consulted our maps and agreed to camp at Pebbly Beach just opposite Tocumwal however we couldn't see Pam and Geoff when we finally hit the beach. They had stopped at the Town Camp on the NSW side of river. They had called out to us as we paddled past but we hadn't heard. In the end I think we were happier at Pebbly Beach as it was closer to town.
After setting up camp and having a quick swim we went to the pub for dinner. I had herb crumbed barramundi with salad and chips. After a few beers we headed back to camp and a good sleep. Another 50 km completed.
