The river banks at this section are infested with Parrot’s Feather (Myriophyllum aquaticum). At one stage Kiam had difficulty getting the boat back to deep water after coming into the bank due to the mass of aquatic weeds.

We finally arrived at Robinvale in the early afternoon after a bumpy, but quick trip of 5 hours.

Gill and Dad managed to get a free cabin donated to us by Robinvale Riverside Caravan Park. This is helping us greatly as it is getting really hot here at Robinvale. The generosity of people continues to touch us deeply. Tomorrow we will face 40 plus degree temperatures.

Try and stay cool. My daughter has MS and the heat really knocks her.
