AAWT day 19: Buckwong Creek Hut to Cowombat Track
Total km: 465 | Total vert: 22,626m

Having experienced enough bush bashing on this trail to last a lifetime I opted for the detour around Buckwong Creek track. It was steep but easy walking and I was so pleased I took it. I enjoyed a beautiful low stress day of hiking and my first time on the track that I was able to sit down and enjoy a propper lunch break without ants, leeches or weather coming for me. I saw my first brumbies of the track, walked through vivid displays of wildflowers, artful scribbly gums, and even ran into an emu!
