The Beautiful River Murray!

Edited version to make it PG rating!
Well last night was interesting to say the least!
I camped close to a road, and was found by a group of kids who decided to make my life hell for the night! They turned up in a car that was loaded with loud and insulting youths who hurled abuse at me for about an hour before giving up realising that I wasn't going to exit from my tent to be taunted by them. Anyway, as I have already said, after the abuse and then them doing burn outs around my tent many times, they eventually realised that I wasn't going to come out, and so they left.
After that, amazingly I slept very well, almost too tired to even think about it once it was over!
I paddled 60km's today which was a fair effort considering that I'm used to being pushed by Steve to travel as far as possible, and this time I only had myself to push and encourage me.
Remarkably along the way I spotted my very first Lama/Alpaca - it was fantastic!!!
The River and the scenery is just so beautiful. For the first half an hour of paddling today I had birds and all kinds of other creatures singing their hearts out - it was amazing to listen to!!
Another boring tea, this time rice with satay sauce with the added bonus of a bread roll I had picked up earlier that day. I bought two, one for tonight and one for tomorrow lunch time.
Anyway, time for bed in a lovely camping spot I found in the middle of no where, so no chance of any funny business tonight - except from the wonderul wild life around me!
I love all the text messages I'm getting, so thanks to everyone who's supporting me!!!!!
Bye for now!
Scottie!
