Grampians Peak Trail Water ?

Postby OllieVic » Fri 22 Apr, 2016 8:30 am

Hey guys,

Going on this trail soon anyone know what water is like a buggia campsite and borough huts , are there streams at least. Don't really wanna carry more than 4 litre a day.

Thanks

Fyans Creek runs right next to Borough Huts and even pretty sure there are water taps at several of the campsites there.
Not sure about Buggia.

There is a rainwater tank at Bugiga according to the website. It would have been depleted over Easter though.

Thanks guys.

As it happens I did a quick water drop at Buggia so that was OK and yes the creek and water tank at Borough Huts had water. In fact Buggia even had water but you wouldn't want to rely on this I think we were just lucky.

I was out there in the Grampians over the Anzac day long weekend and it was very dry everywhere.
