Last April (2016) Simon and I decided to postpone the next leg of the our trip down the Murray when there was an outbreak of blue-green algae that extended through the area we wished to travel (Echuca to Swan Hill). We ended up discovering Lake Tyers in Gippsland and had a wonderful time paddling there.
Now 6 months later we are ready to resume our journey. In the intervening period there has been a lot of rain has the Murray has benefited, the algae has gone and the river is at minor flood levels in many places including between Echuca and Swan Hill.
Peter Philips who we met at the end of the last leg has just paddled through from Echuca to Swan Hill and reported that although the water is high we will be able to find campsites, and mosquitoes - lots of mosquitoes.
