Welcome aboard.  :beer

Not knowing the Murray personally though we are kept well informed of its comings and goings, i have to admit to a little jealousy  :a102 as i am sat here on a teabreak at work where you can simply go for a cruise anytime :terrific  :s_cool

Welcome indeed.  Conceivably we spoke briefly in Echuca during the QEII Diamond Jubilee regatta.
I'll shift to pm to see if you are keen on a Nov. or Dec. or Jan. adventure to Tocumwal.
I had planned to do it one way, upstream.

Love the Billy Tea! Welcome aboard! It's good to have some of the owners of paddlers on here too, lots of information can be gathered from experience.

I am jealous on both counts. I'd love to visit Australia and i'd also love to own a full size paddler. I have neither...... :-(
