ANOTHER AFTERNOON DOWN THE RIVER...

Steve is still trying to finetune his boat to get it to how he wants it to run,  so any excuse at the moment is a good excuse to head out on the water  to check that he is happy with all his adjustments...
We decided to head down the river again on Saturday afternoon a couple of weekends ago to try out his old prop...

This time we decided to put the boat in up near the ski gardens...
This time we were heading up river in the fresh water the other side of the barrage.....
It has been quite a while since we have been up this side of the river...
It is also the side where Crocodiles have been sighted....
Still it was lovely,
The bird life was great...
We headed up little creeks and and went exploring...

The boat is in the water.... now I just have to get into it...
The river is looking really lovely at the moment.... not the murky muddy river it usually is...
Heading up the river...
We went exploring down little creeks...

 
 

We turned down into this little creek and it was beautiful,  hidden away from the main river, it had lots of properties backing onto it.  The bird life in there was quite spectacular and their were beautiful flowering lillies...
It kind of felt like we were in a little world of our own...
Heading up a little creek. 
Playful Pelicans
Without a care in the world...
They  looked pretty amazing as they took off...
Full flight
We came around the bend and the view of lillies were gorgeous...
Flowering pink lillies

Buds ready to open...

There was an incredible amount of bird life up this creek...
Enjoying the river...
 
 It was quite a magical time together, and I guess we were a little in awe of the beauty around us, and the serenity we were engulfed in...
We came back out into the main part of the river and continued up it.  We needed to find somewhere to land so that Steve could quickly change his prop....
We needed to see if the props had anything to do with the cavitating.

Cows along the banks of the river...
This pelican flew alongside of us and in front of us for quite a while
What a majestic bird....
We finally found a little wharf and boat ramp to pull into so that Steve could change the prop...
The old wharf we found to pull into...

Unpacking the Prop....
Will the other prop make a difference..

Changing Props
It was actually quite picturesque
Time to head back and see if there is a real difference...

 We headed home on Sunset again....
 
 
 
 
 
 

 Heading back to the Boat Ramp..
Perfect end to a wonderful day....

 We certainly live in a wonderful place in the world....
Feeling very grateful for all that I have....
