Alone in the Wild - Chowilla Game Reserve Kayak Camping Trip Part 10

about 4 years ago (Edited)

This is the part ten of my series Alone in the Wild which documents my journey through a section of the Chowilla Game reserve to the north east of Renmark here in South Australia.

For this part of the journey I pick up where I left you last time, this is where things really start to get difficult.
I have to battle upstream for the rest of the journey, battling the current which keeps trying to spin you around. The trick is to keep the kayak straight ;)

I'm not going to lie, I was absolutely exhausted by this point which was day three of my trip.
I knew I had a tough battle ahead fighting the flow of the creek, I took a pain killer for my back in the morning which to be honest really helped me to power through, and I know without it I probably might not have made it out.

This is quite a unique experience.
I couldn't find anything like this so my experience will give you a good idea of what to expect if your thinking of doing something similar.
Maybe your in another country and can't do the trip yourself, so you can ride with me and enjoy the experience.
The video could have been done better, I'm new to this type of thing so next time I will have a better setup and I will be mindful not to move my head around too much :)
