This section of the Great North Walk starts from the Yarramalong general store and follows the roads to the Cedar Brush track head. From here the walk heads north through the Olney State Forest to the Basin Campsite. On day two, the walk continues north, through the State Forest, to Mt Warrawolong, where there is a side trip to the peak. The walk finishes by heading down the ridge to Watagan creek road.

Yarramalong Store

Yarramalong Store is good place to have lunch or pick up the basic food supplies. The store serves hot food including burgers, chips, pies etc as well as cold drinks. The store is open 7am to 7pm, 7 days a week. There is a pay phone outside and a tap to refill water, and the store has its own fuel pump. Phone on (02)4356 1222. The address is 1625 Yarramalong Rd, Yarramalong NSW 2259. I always encourage people to use local stores like this on track, but since it is a small store it is worth phoning ahead to see what they have what you want in stock. It is a small store so choice is limited.

Yarramalong Manor

Yarramalong Manor offers accommodation and a restaurant in the picturesque Yarramalong Valley. The restaurant is open to the public for breakfast & lunch (10am weekdays and 9am weekends) daily, and dinner Friday and Saturday. Yarramalong Manor has 6 guest rooms, each with ensuite, TV, fridge and tea & coffee making facilities. Tariffs for bed and breakfast start at $95 - single, $75/person - twin share. ph:(02) 4356 1066.

Over the first 700m, the track leads past a few sandstone caves[75][76] and crosses over several small creeks. The walk then continues for another 1.2km, where the track enters a more open forest on a saddle[77][78]. At the edge of this saddle is an intersection with the Rock Lilly trail (signposted 'The Basin Camping Area' sign[79] on the right) and a GNW arrow marker[80] pointing directly ahead (also leading to the Basin campsite).
Continue straight: From the intersection on the saddle[81][82], this walk follows the GNW arrow marker gently downhill[83] heading west[84] (directly away from 'The Basin Camping Area' sign[85]). The walk continues through tall open forest[86][87] for about 300m, until coming to the large open clearing and Basin campsite[88][89].

Basin Campsite

This large campsite sits by Wollombi Brook on the Great North Walk[90] and is accessible by car. The campsite provides a range of facilities such as a pit toilet[91], picnic tables and chairs[92], wood BBQs[93] and fireplaces[94]. Water is usually available from the water tank[95] or the nearby creek[96] - treat before use.

Continue straight: From the intersection[114][115], this walk follows the 'Lyrebird Trail' & 'The Great North Walk' sign [116], north along the track whilst keeping the valley to your left. The walk leads through the dense forest[117] for about 250m, until crossing a mossy creek with many small boulders[118]. This creek may become impassable after heavy or prolonged rain. On the other side of this side creek, the walk comes to the edge of the delightful Wollombi Brook Pool[119][120] (on the left, at the junction of this side creek and Wollombi Brook).

Wollombi Brook Pool

The Wollombi Brook pool is located where two creeks come together and is a deep pool surrounded by moist cool forest. On a hot day, this spot would make an ideal resting spot or place for a cooling swim.
