Great North Walk Cedar Creek Trackhead to the Basin Campsite
Posted: Tue 22 Apr, 2025 6:21 pmThe section of the Great North Walk (GNW) between the junction with Walkers Ridge Forest Road (approx. -33.099587, 151.250034) and The Basin campsite (approx. -33.104076, 151.230609) should be approached with considerable caution.
This portion now effectively qualifies as a Grade 4 walk due to a challenging combination of steep terrain and severely degraded track conditions. In my view, it should not be attempted before mid-morning or after mid-afternoon. Low light on the forest floor, compounded by a dense canopy, makes it difficult to locate the track with confidence.
In addition, signage is virtually non-existent, further increasing the navigational challenge.
