Great North Walk Cedar Creek Trackhead to the Basin Campsite

[Mullaitivu_83]

The 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.

I wonder.
I remember it as being a fairly simple track but with a small climb. There were signs along the way, and plenty of light.
Did the OP miss a turning somewhere? That would make it 'hard'.
