Hi Leanne,
I’m loving your posts! Fascinating to read what goes through your mind as you travel this great river of ours. (well some of what’s on your mind at least!) You’re doing a great job and what an inspiration you are.
Have forwarded the latest update through to friends.
All the best and may the Travel Angel be with you all the way – just let her know what you need like the day you requested fine weather and it appeared the next day!
Paddle safe.
cheers Rosey
Hi Lovey
Great to hear everything is going well, we will follow your endeavours each day and look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks.

Leanne, how did you go with the Brooks runners. I will catch up with you at Gol Gol in the morning
Peter
Yep Peter, fine with the Brookes stuff. They have been very generous and I find their shoes are great for what I am doing. Look forward to catching you in the water.
Aerodynamically the bumblebee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumblebee doesn’t know that, so it goes flying anyway. What does that mean ?

Leanne your very courages, so what was the temperature of the water approximately ?
Take Care, Love Manfred, Daniel, Dunstan, Cookie and Midget.
Hi dear, I believe the water was cold but adrenelin kicked in and I didn’t notice it. It took too much effort to get out and on the water again. After that I was just busy paddling and that warmed me up. I did a lot of talking to myself yesterday. LOL. XL
Hi Leanne, I thought that I would remind you, that I am the ” Queen of the Murray” when it comes to swimming.
Suggest you stay in your kayak.
Remember back in 2001, I was bring attention to the environmentally issues threating the river’s health, so how is the river these days?
Your an amazing person Leanne, keep up the great effort.

Leanne, Glad to hear all is still on track. I hope to be in Ararat on the 28th & 29th to encourage you and try to walk with you for a while.
regards,
Greg.
Hi Greg, I’ll look forward to it and hopefully will be walking at full pace by then. Thanks for thinking of me. XL
