I rolled over and thought to myself "why are those birds making so much noise"?
Then I realised the light penetrating the tent was not the moon, it was first light. Time to start another day on the river. The forecast 36 degrees and northerly wind - for us a tailwind at last.
The 1st 2 hours the water was glassy as there was no wind. We stopped for Scotch Fingers on a high bank opposite a water treatment plant. Another 90 minutes were at Swan Reach. As we were landing near the ferry I could hear the Last Post" being played. Realising that it was a Remembrance Day commemoration I let Simon know and we were silent until we heard "Reveille".

Just up the bank and 30 metres away was the town war memorial and a small crowd disassembling. We shopped at the grocer and bought lunch at the cafe with only 5 km more to Punyelroo we took our time.
At the caravan park we finally found the manager. He wasn't expecting anyone and we had their park to ourselves.
