Lake Bill info - URGENT

[Genesis]

I am to pick up my husband at the Lake Bill car park on Sunday. He has been injured and I need to pick him up earlier than planned. I am having trouble finding the location of the car park. Can someone help, please? Thanks
Please email response to soulhoney101@gmail.com as I am not sure what email his account is linked to. I am logged in to his account.
Thanks again.
Melissa.

Respond to above email with
"Closest I can find is

Lake Myrtle Car Park
-41.8224898, 146.2130199

On the Mersy Forest Road, you keep going south of the Fish River Road for ~6.6 km.

Hope that helps.

To get to Lake Myrtle yo have to go past Lake Bill"

If that is in error then email them above?

Thank you!

I don't seem to have a pic, but the Lake Bill carpark is on the left, above the level of the road, with the Very Short road up to it angled more like the left side of a Y than a 90 degree turn off the Mersey Forest Rd. There's quite a big clearing, room for several cars if they park well.

There is another car park further south by ~4 km, the Mose Creek Carpark. I think the one wanted is the one above, but it is difficult to know with the naming possibilities.

Yes, I thought about that too. But that's clearly at the very end of the Mersey Forest Rd, and would be known as the carpark for the Moses Creek track rather than for Lake Bill. It is also the carpark for the Jackson Creek Track, which is an alternative route to Lake Myrtle - but I doubt anybody would call it the Lake Myrtle carpark, as it's much less known about, and we couldn't follow the Jackson Creek track all the way to Lake Myrtle - did some slight scrub bashing to get to there that way. Whereas the Lake Bill track is a good track - apart from the overgrowing ferns...

Someone trying to walk out of there carrying an injury would be a fool to try Jacksons - it's almost totally disappeared.

Thank you all.

My husband is very experienced. This is the first time he has had to turn back because of injury. The information I have is limited as it was text from a walker that passed by and happened to have a satellite phone ( I'm assuming that is what it is). It was a little vague. I'm not even sure if my husband is injured of his walking companion. They have a emergency beacon so I know if they were in real trouble they would use that.

Thank you again for the info. Hopefully, we will find them at the right place.

Thank you all for your help, we made it back along the lake Bill track slow but in one piece.

A big thank you to NickD for getting the message out about our change of plans on his Satphone.

Aging bodies, a reminder that those knees are kind of important ...

Thanks for letting us know, Genesis. Glad you both got out safely. Yes, the ol' joints are kinda important...

Young nephew walked my knees off yesterday - too fast especially on the slopes including rock steps.
He was jumping down .. my knees would not take that.

Take it easy, hope the recovery goes well.
