It was lovely to wake to the sounds of the river birds and take our time getting up.
Eggs and bacon for breakfast was the order of the day.
We sat and watched the river, chatting and relaxing the morning away, since we had all morning before our afternoon event. Our starts weren’t until after 2 pm.
A striped honeyeater and pied butcherbird came to say hello, pelicans preened on a branch over the river and black swans glided past happily. Also darters.

Kayakers were having fun as were the houseboaters. We headed off to the event at 12:30. It wasn’t too far up the road ( only 10km or so).
The event was challenging, with the deep erosion gullies and creeks which were difficult to cross and rocky, uneven ground. It was a real workout, and I wasted a lot of time going around instead of over the obstacles.
Trevor and Erica both finished our courses , but not at the top of the rankings.
We came back to the campsite for a wash up ( especially our feet) and enjoyed a bit of quiet time while our travelling companions helped to set up the event for tomorrow.
We had a small fire and quietly sat around and chatted until an early bed time.
