Back on the River.

Back on the river. Made it to a campsite at Berri, 40k. Eating at Indian restaurant in Berri. Something Sturt couldn't do.

Lock 5 this morning. Smooth and courteous as usual. Also, after lock 5, I was met at the Lyrup Ferry because I had asked "support" for some cordial to alter the plastic flavour of the water in my newly acquired camelback. The cordial was actually provided by Richard Challis, secretary of Renmark Rowing club, pictured here with his partner, Helen, and a thirsty version of me.

Shortly after this shot, we spotted an example of Hydromys Chrysogaster, the native water rat, surfacing and diving just offshore. He looked more the size of an otter than a rat, but ratlike.
