| Consultations were held. Markers placed to check the level showed a continuing rise, however it was hoped that as the rain had eased, the river level would fall as quickly as it had risen. Church Creek incidentally was now also a substantial and fast flowing creek. The fire was relit, more wood gathered and we began to husband our food resources in case our stay proved to be longer than we might otherwise have hoped. | Consultations were held.

| The clouds dispersed, and it became positively hot in the sun. Tents and groundsheets were dried and packed, endless billies boiled on the embers of our fire. Only our rumbling tummies reminded us this was not an ordinary weekend. Once, we thought we heard voices, but it was a false alarm. Around 11.30 am the tranquility was suddenly shattered by clattering and roaring as a large orange and white helicopter passed low overhead. We snatched up Jan's silver groundsheet and flapped it in the sun. | The clouds dispersed, and it became positively hot in the sun.
