Girraween National Park VKFF-0198

After lunch in Stanthorpe drove South to Giraween National Park VKFF-0198. Had activated this park before but been defeated by poor conditions, and a lack of mobile coverage. Headed into the picnic area, views of some of the peaks in the park visible.


Set up the squid pole near one of the picnic table shelters. I used a water tap for support.

I first thought I would have no mobile coverage again, however walking around the picnic ground was able to get ParksnPeaks to load, and spotted.
