Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve VKFF-1972

After activating Wollemi National Park continued driving West along Bylong Valley Way, then turning off onto Wollar Rd to Wollar. After Wollar headed SE until entering Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve. Stopped when reaching the Moolarben Picnic Area in the reserve.

Stopped here for lunch, then set up the station on the picnic table in the reserve. Being a week day had the place to myself. Looking into the reserve

Shack on the picnic table.


Checked the mobile, absolutely no signal on the Telstra network... So needed to get spotted.

Got on 7.144 and found VK3PF/p Peter and VK3NRB/p Ross in VKFF-2259  Bald Hills Creek Wildlife Reserve. After working them Peter offered to spot me and moved off to another frequency to work park hunters.

With 13 contacts had enough for VKFF, packed up and moved on. Stopped briefly at Longhorn Gap itself, there was mobile coverage here so in future might be worth operating around here. There is a car park for a walking track near here.


Continued driving on to Dubbo
