It was March 2006 and we set up the 4.75m Stacer Baymaster (aluminum) Trailerable with a 50 hp Johnson oil injected motor and a 15 hp Suzuki (auxillary) as our multi purpose vessel to follow the Mighty Murray from the first point that enabled this size boat to navigate to the mouth. Further up stream it would have needed a flat bottom punt or a canoe to negotiate from the start of the river in the Snowy Mountains to the Hume Weir.
After a trial night out on the Edward River at Deniliquin we came home and made some changes to enable us to complete the trip in approx 6 weeks with some sort of comfort.
We added some brackets that hung onto the outside of  Hull, 1 for a tub that held all the food, another that contained all the crockery, cooking utensils and bits and pieces and another bracket that held a large kitchen tidy for our garbage. The bait box on the stern was swapped for another tub that held the drinks(most important!) and the fish cutting table had an old caravan 2 burner stove and grill strapped to it.
At night the 2 seats were taken out and thrown on the foredeck and we rolled out a double swag. Also on board was a Porta Potti and a Waeco 12 volt frig that was powered off the outboard. All the components for a comfy trip!
