Whian Whian State Conservation Area VKFF-1394

After activating Nightcap National Park continued on to Whian Whian State Conservation Area. This was only a short distance to drive, continued on the Minion Falls Rd for a few Km, then turning off to the Rummery Park campground. Sign for the park.


Reached the campground. Sign for various walks in the park. Most quite long.


A tree with a massive collection of birds nest ferns


Set up in the camping area using my own table for squid pole support. Some impressive rainforest in the background.


Shack on the table


Went to spot myself on ParksnPeaks, and found I had no internet coverage here... So back to the old method of calling until someone heard me. 7.144 was being used for activating by VK4SOE/p so unable to use this, dropped down to 7.138.

Got VK3FADV, who couldn't spot me, but then got VK5PAS/p Paul who could, Also a park to park as Paul was in VKFF-0781 Kenneth Stirling Conservation Park

Got a few more calls once spotted.

As not able to spot didn't try other bands. Packed up and headed to Byron Bay, where I was spending a couple of nights.
