Headed out of Goulburn along Mountain Ash Rd, until reaching the small village of Bungonia. Turned off onto The Lookdown Rd. There is a large sign in Bungonia marking this as the way to Bungonia National Park. Continued along The Lookdown Rd until reaching the park entrance sign,
Just after the sign the rangers office. Note there is an $8 visitors fee for this park. There was a machine to pay by credit card, which was broken, so placed the money in a special marked envelope and posted it at the rangers station. As getting late in the day decided to check out the lookouts first before losing light and activate after. The first lookout visited was Adams Lookout, giving a good view of Slot Canyon below
Then headed for another lookout, "The Lookdown", with a view out to the East.
Drove back to a picnic area not far from the rangers station. Used a picnic table to set up the shack, squid pole attached to the table and dipole legs to a couple of trees.
Had the full 80 m dipole set up, so left the links in and started on 80 m. Spotting in the park was tricky, having to move the mobile phone around a little before getting a spot out on Parksnpeaks. Some nice strong signals from fairly nearby park hunters

Opened links to go down to 40 m. Found a non WWFF QSO in progress on 7.144, so moved down to 7.139 Mhz. Worked the following park hunters
