Lake Batyo Catyo is a human-made freshwater lake located 26 km west of the town of St Arnaud in North Central Victoria, Australia. It is now dry, as the inflow channel from the Richardson River was permanently closed in 2012.
A dilapidated concrete jetty with a galvanised steel railing on the left hand side sticks out over a dry lake bed. At the end of the jetty the top of a metal ladder is visible. The lake bed is covered in grass, with a few sandy patches. On the left hand side, some tyre tracks are visible. A former sand bar and the distant lake shore are covered in trees.
St Arnaud is a town in the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia, 244 kilometres north west of the capital Melbourne. It is in the Shire of Northern Grampians local government area. At the 2021 census, St Arnaud had a population of 3,453.
