Ozymandias and water 14-Nov-2003 At 5:12:25 PM gemmaw

Does anyone have any info/knowledge about the availability of water for climbing Ozymandias, Mt Buffalo? Myself and my partners in climb have never been to Mt Buffalo before, and I've heard about streams down the bottom. Are the streams near the base of Ozy and if so, would there be water at this time of year? If not, is the usual procedure just to lug all your water down yourself?

We are planning to climb it over 3 days so we figured that is a fair amount of water to carry down (and haul up of course) for 3 people. And how much have others found they need: 3 litres each per day - too much, not enough?

Any other suggestions/recommendations about the climb and logistics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
