John: A big lake?
S.J.: It's a fair size. Not half, not a quarter as big as Deep Creek.
It would only be about a mile or so in off where we used to camp.
You went up a great big, a fairly big hill, I think.

a creek that comes down from pretty well up near Deep Creek, Lake.
Down from there. down into the swamp there. Joins onto the swamp.
There was a crossing there, and that's where the freshwater fish

know. Anyone took a photo of them, we liked the background. They
looked quite alright them lakes.
John What about Lake McKenzie?
S.J. Well, yes, thats further to the front beach than the Deep Creek

of the island, really, or more towards the front beach isn't it?
