Conimbla National Park VKFF-0107
Conimbla National Park is located West of Cowra, I accessed it driving West on the Great Western Highway between Cowra and Grenfell. There is a sign for the park on the turn off to Kangarooby Rd, followed this until entering the park. The road is unsealed but not that rough. Stopped in the park at Wallaby picnic area.
A couple of picnic tables here. Set up on one of the tables.
Looking into the picnic area
Shack on the table.

Mobile coverage was poor as at the bottom of a valley. After moving about a bit managed to get Parksnpeaks to load and spotted myself.
