.Day 61 - 26/7/07 - Onto Louth There were quite few shallow bits today but I still managed 41km by 3.00 o'clock to arrive at Louth. Sundown is important here as all the tourists go and watch the sun reflect off the monument where it shines towards a house where a guy directed it in memory of his wife. Today I saw a platypus! It was sunning itself on a log just above the water and slid off as I approached. This is the first time I have seen one in the wild. The river got a little bid murkier at times but is still looking quite clear.
