Broken Head Nature Reserve VKFF-1898

After staying overnight in Byron Bay set off to activate nearby Broken Head Nature Reserve, VKFF-1898. Followed Broken Head Reserve Rd into the park. Sign for the park

The Broken Head beach area was just packed with cars, swimmers and surfers, nowhere to park, and paid parking as well... gave up and headed up Seven Mile Beach Rd. This was narrow and with no stopping signs along the length of it. Passed a few more car parks, all full. This was a really popular park...Finally managed to get the last parking spot as a beach turn off. Headed off into the scrub

Dense rainforest with no breaks in the canopy for a squid pole. Finally settled on a spot where I could raise the 7 m squid pole to about 6 m and string out the dipole legs in between the vegetation.

Looking the other way

Shack on the tarp

Got on 40 m. To my surprise got calls from park hunters, so getting out through the foliage somehow.
