The lake doesn't appear to hav e a name, perhaps b because the City of Hume defines it as a 'water retention facility'.

2. View across to CSL facility

This pond was built at the time of the CSL plasma fractionation facility across the Western Ring Road

3. Bespoke Graffiti Tower

Other uses may be entertained.

4. Merlynston Creek valley

View across to the distant Dandenongs

Alternative point to start the walk, but further east along Camp Rd is a more convenient car park.
