Our initial plan was an ambitious 18km walk from Central Station to Lake McKenzie and Lake Birrabeen loop. We passed through Pile Valley. After about 2.5km, we found the track was closed. We decided to turn around and head to Basin Lake instead.

The walk to Basin Lake from Central Station is 3km. In total, we did a 10km walk, which I am glad

we did instead of the 18km. It would have been a hard day to do the distance.

Basin Lake was a great find. While it is not a perched lake with crystal clear blue water like McKenzie, there is hardly anyone there. We saw a group of 5 people who were leaving as we arrived and a couple of Germans who lived in Byron Bay. As Todd was preparing to jump into the lake, a tour group turned up! After a brief 10 minutes talk by the guide and a few photos, they left. Whew!
The water was refreshing but most importantly, it was quiet. It Just us and the couple, swimming with some small ducks.
