This week Jeff and Ian, who are amongst a group of people paddling down the Murray River, ring to give Macca a report on their progress.

John Dumesny tells Ian about the upcoming trotting Miracle Mile; and Sally Gregory is on her way to Canberra for the Bravery Association awards.

Mark calls from Brisbane Hospital; Philip laments the imminent demolition of Corryong's grandstand; and Ian reads a letter he received from expat Christopher in Thailand.
