Bungonia State Conservation Area VKFF-1291

 After activating Pomaderris Nature Reserve continued along Mountain Ash Road, until reaching the small village of Bungonia. There is a road on the left in town, you can't miss it as a sign indicates this is the way to Bungonia National Park. Followed this road, The Lookdown Road to the entrance to Bungonia National Park.


The sign is a bit misleading. Just behind it is Bungonia State Conservation Area, in fact the ranger's residence is in the State Conservation Area, the National Park does not start until past it.

Near the ranger's residence a turn off to Great South Road Fire Trail. This trail is still in the State Conservation Area.


It was locked so unable to drive in, so just carried my gear and table into the nearby scrub.


Operating spot, from Alltrails map. 


Got on 40m. Able to spot myself, lucky as phone coverage is spotty further into the park. Worked the following on 7.144Mhz.

VK3SQ/VK2BD, VK1AO/VK2MET, VK2IO, VK3ZSC, VK3BFX, VK3MCA, VK2NP, VK5HS, VK1RF/VK2MK/VK4CEE, VK2GQR, VK4HNS, VK3AMO, VK2HRX.

As lunch time packed up and headed up to the picnic area at Adams Lookout in Bungonia National Park. Good views.
