Always a pleasure to watch Amy, and another one here to grab a coffee and sit back and enjoy your latest instalment. A good insight into some of the mind games that we can play on ourselves. Glad you shared that part of the experience with us. Looking forward to more. 👍
Great to wake up to this! Those noises…. Horses, deer, pigs? That’s one of my favourite parts of the river. Don’t remember all those snags though! Goodness how things change quickly. Looking forward to the future episodes that’s for sure! Been spending a bit of time in your state… stunning!
Aw, thanks mate 💙 I thought later that those noises might have been a disgruntled brumby stamping his hoof... at the time I didn't know brumbys were in the forest. I hadn't even considered deer. Maybe. Who knows 🤷♀️ Yep, that snaggy section was a complete surprise too... the river was very low at this time though, so it wouldn't have looked anywhere near as bad in a normal year. Lucky I scraped through with only a centimetre or 2 spare 😳
@@AmyOutdoors yeah my heart was in my mouth. Deer scrape there antlers on trees to mark their territory, I’d bet too that there are deer in there, and plenty of brumbies for sure!
Just what I needed with my morning coffee Amy. Looks like the river has dropped in S.A. I'm sure you had a blast exploring places that were previously unaccessable. Really happy to see the continuation of this trip
So glad to hear that Greg, thanks 😊 More MRX on the way too! Yes river levels in SA are dropping really fast now! Can't wait till the power's that be decide its safe for us to go kayaking again... I'm itching to get out for a long paddle in SA again!
Oh no, gotta watch those Yowie's! lol When the forest went silent, that is exactly what I would have been thinking was in those woods! haha! It is so funny how the mind works when a bit of fear enters the ole brain. lol Wonderful days on the river, thanks for sharing! :) :)
Good to c u back I was born and bred on the Murray I to feel on edge camping by myself at night lol if you wear ear plugs at night those noises that bother you you won’t hear them and get a better nights sleep good video 👍👍👍
Cheers mate 👍 yeah, normally I sleep fine through night noises, but this stretch really gave me the willies, lol. I can't sleep with ear plugs, but I've heard they do work well for those that can!
Beautiful area you got to paddle. Great job on the video. Saw you over at Open Air Outdoors and wanted to check out your channel. Glad I did. Keep up the good work.
Great to see the next MRX instalment, Amy! Looked like this section was a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions which is definitely all part of what makes it memorable, right? Powering on through the 500km mark and I'm really looking forward to the rest of it!
Another great video! The banging noise you were describing could have been goats hitting their horns together. :0) That section with the fast water and narrow turning point is a bit disconcerting...from a rowing boat point of view... Thanks again.
Just near Torrumbarry weir i heard the most horrific growling/screeching noises all night!Turns out i had camped near 2 koala bears territories got no sleep that night! I found that camping on NSW side (mainly private land) was a much better option,No hoons or many people at all and plenty of wood! especially as i got further past echuca

Amy, excellent, thanks. I shall have to watch this tonight or tomorrow night, cheers, Paul
I have been hanging out for this,after watching the previous videos, so it was lovely to see the next chapter of your adventure!
Thanks Margot, hopefully not so long until the next instalment 🤞
Love this stretch of the river. We normally camp between Toc & Poverty point (picnic point is normally too busy). 🤠
It is a stunning bit of river... video really doesn't show it off properly!
So glad you have put up another video of your epic trip Amy.Looking forward to see the rest of the trip.Cheers
Thanks Jack 😊 yeah, it was time to get back to the canoeing vids, that's for sure!

Looking forward to more. 👍
Thanks Chris, much appreciated. There's no point only showing the good stuff - it's all part of the adventure!
Gotta love me some Amy over my morning cuppa.
Legend!
Haha thanks mate 👍

Haha yes! You can't help but let those thoughts creep in no matter how much you tell yourself they're silly!
The adventure continues 🙌 and a chance of a yowie sighting perhaps? Love your trips Amy, we look out for each episode 👌👌
Cheers Sisters 😊 the less yowies the better 😜

Fantastic edit. Note I did not miss the finer detail either. Captured all the emotions and excitement well.
Thanks Nas. Appreciate it 👍

Thanks for coming over! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video too, cheers!
Hi Amy that looks Awesome so cool. We dropped in to show the support. 😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much 🤗

Cheers Chris, yes, it sure was, and it is what makes the strongest memories, that's for sure!

That's the narrowest it gets. A rear view mirror would be a good idea through there I think

got no sleep that night!

Those koalas can make some very weird noises, that's for sure! I prefer to camp on crown land when possible, but I know what you mean!
Its not the yowies you've got to watch out for...it's them flamin drop bears .
🤣 too right 👍

I thought we weren't allowed to kayak in the murray?
Can we do boating now
The SA Murray River is currently restricted to paddlers and swimmers. This video was recorded in NSW/VIC in 2021.
