what a great site to stumble across, I’ve been trying to locate Diana’s Bath.. I remember when I was younger, around 13 years old, (so we’re talking 45 years ago) we used to go and stay on our friend’s property at Mt Bryon, it was just a 2 level old timber shack. but the highlight on the trip was when we all piled into the ute and headed to Diana’s Bath for a swim.. I remember vividly how cold the water was, and there was a rope swing.. and if you didn’t get back to the bank on your first pass, that was it, you had to drop into the freezing water and swim back.. I haven’t been up that way for many years, might be worth the drive now?? thanks for putting this info up..

Hi Melitta

I know it sounds crazy but I’ve never tried getting to Diana’s Bath by road. Each time I’ve tried it, I came via fire trails over the mountain.

Here’s a map of my most recent visit: http://g.co/maps/28jkm – Can you tell where abouts you got to on it?

I think the easiest way to get there is to go to the point marked “Open Field / Camping Ground” and hike upstream a couple of hundred metres.

Have you got a GPS? If so, I think it’s at S 27° 07.658 E 152° 40.713

A friend of mine gave these instructions:

Odometer 	Directions 	                                           Distance
0 	Fernvale turn-off south of dam 	 
2.9 	Turn left at crossroads in to Mt Byron Rd 	                        2.9
7.9 	Keep left 	                                                        5.0
11.3 	Keep right 	                                                        3.4
12.7 	Turn left after grid 	                                                1.4
13.0 	Concrete causeway (the next section crosses a steep hill)  	        0.3
14.8 	Keep left 	                                                        1.8
15.4 	Turn left 	                                                        0.6
16.2 	Keep right - leave cars here before a creek crossing and locked gate 	0.8

From the cars cross over the creek and the locked gate. After the gate, turn immediately left and walk 200m back down to the creek where a sign will be found marking the short trail to Diana’s Bath.

Hope this helps.

Neil

Hi, I wonder if you could help us out a little. We have been trying and find Dianas bath for about 3 years after some one told us about.
we gave it an other go today but missed it again. We enterd from Fernvale into Mt Byron rd and drove right up to the gate which has the hydro sign and walked past the shak. It seemd to be a cow paddock. We asked a local along the way and he told us it was about 1.5 km hike from the gate but perhaps we did not walk far enough. Came across Bobs camp and walked a little further to an other creek crossing the rd then turned back…..it is so frustrating knowing how close we are yet so out of reach.
Any guide posts would be much appreciated

Many thanks melitta
