Sappa Bulga National Park VKFF-1180

After stopping in Dubbo overnight followed the Newell Hwy a short drive out of town, turning right into Panai Ave, then turning right into Morey Pl. At the end of the road reached the Southern end of Sappa Bulga National Park. There was an unlocked gate, so opened it and drove a short distance into the park. Sign for the park.

Set up the squid pole on the sign with the table close by.

Shack on the table. Ran the FT-857D at 40 w
