Dec 25, Buckwong Creek

Another very hard day, a Christmas we won't forget for a while! We had a 500 m climb today, most of it off track, very steep and thick horrible scrub. We finally arrived at Buckwong Creek at 6:10 PM and called it quits at the first camp site we found that had some water. We were about 4 km short of our target so tomorrow will be long too.
