Our second day on the Mighty Murray. After a great morning paddle we made our way into a lagoon for the first time. The wind picked up and we learnt about choppy water. We made camp in a gully and went to watch the sun set.

Emergency Rain Camp

Pushed off in the morning and did some exploring on the river. Found a ski club in the side waters. Went through our first lock (Lock 1) at Blachetown. A quick stop at the pub for a beer and stubby holder and then it was back on the river. We encountered our first rain and we quickly made camp, pushing down reeds and creating camp. Simon found 5 river dollars.
