Day 5 – Change of plan and a farm full of cow poo

We were meant to start a lake expedition today, but the wind was too strong. The Program Directors offered a Plan B: paddle on the sheltered Nicholson River, camp on a farm for two nights, then paddle back once the weather improved. We were all in.

The river paddle was calm and leafy. Jo and I steered like pros. We’ve come a long way since that Day 1 capsize.

The farm was different to the island. The cows had been moved out of the paddock, but they left plenty of cow poo around. No toilet for us either (!) so we had to dig a pit and set up a toilet tent. I guess we'll make do.

Camped under tarps again, fire going, stars coming out.
