WWFF Wanna Wanna Nature Reserve VKFF-2016

My last activation of Wanna Wanna Nature Reserve was interrupted by rain, so returned today to finish it. Drove to the gate leading into the park off Pony Pl Carwoola.


Climbed over the gate and walked along the road between properties. Despite the sign the reserve does not begin until clearing the property on the left. Just within the park boundary spotted a large log suitable for squid pole support and sitting on. Set up here.



Operating spot. Map from Protected Planet website.


Looking back to the East and the road in to the park.


FT-857D radio perched on top of the log.


Got on 40 m. Started with calling another park station, VK4SMA/p Mark in VKFF-1469 Bayview Conservation Park.

Spotted myself on ParksnPeaks. A pileup of park hunters followed.
