Final Day of United 4 A Wish

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 07, 2008

An eventful night in Murray Bridge, with some youths planning to steal one of our kayaks during the night.  Mike, our security guard was fantastic, we were so glad we had him!  Thanks again!!!

We got up early and set off at about 8am.  We had a bit of a head wind to begin with which turned nicely and we had a really nice days paddle.  There were 11 of us paddling of us that day, with a 2nd group of 6 lagging behind as well as a group of 8 from Wilderness College that paddled independently. 

We were met at Tailem Bend by Kate and Ray from Channel 10 who were great, and took some really good footage and put a great story on the news tonight!  We also had some great lunch from Subway while we were there.

Then we paddled to Wellington.  On the way there a couple of paddlers were approached by a fairly big snake, which thank goodness darted away as they got closer.

Thanks so much to ALL the paddlers who joined in with United 4 A Wish, over the various stages.

Once we were in Wellington and had said goodbye to our fellow paddlers we set off to the local hotel for an early and healthy dinner of Kangaroo and Pasta, as we had to eat a good meal and sleep early because we were setting of at 11pm to cross the lake!!!

We were in bed by 8pm as the sun was setting.
