My walks have all started from home but the posts start from different places. Today I start from under the bridge that I had walked across yesterday to follow the river around and view Euston from the Punt crossing site on the Victorian bank. Near the start of my walk is the historic walk sign no. 9 which is just past the bridge. It is a canoe tree. The history board tells how a bark canoe is made and that this tree was the source of the last bark canoe made in the Robinvale area. The canoe was made around 1980 as part of the documentary River People.

I cannot help but marvel at the beauty of the bush

and the beauty of the river

I walked along the river for about 100 metres but then found I could go no further.

I walked up the embankment to the dirt road that pushed its way through beautiful bushland to Punt Bend.

Past trees with spiders legs with a view of Euston in the distance.

Past the rotunda and forest of water trees on the opposite bank that I had admired so much yesterday

to Punt Bend,

and the view across the water that had been my destination for today

I chose to go home down the centre road as I had not planned my return journey and I was not to sure where the road that continued around the rivers bend would take me. The centre road ran parallel to the power lines that ran from Robinvale and passed across the river to Euston. It was not a particularly nice walk but it got me to where I wanted to be. The rutted road showed why signs around the river advise that the roads are dry weather roads only. Along the way kangaroos hopped across the path in front of me so that was a bonus.
