Mundoonen Nature Reserve VKFF-1971

After lunch in Yass headed to my next park, Mundoonen Nature Reserve. Drove East along Yass Valley Way, continuing straight ahead through the Barton Hwy roundabout and at the end of the road turning right onto the Hume Hwy. After climbing up the Mt Mundoonen hill turned off left into Sheldricks Lane. Able to park here off the old Hume Hwy. Sign for the park here.


The Highway Trail goes up to SOTA summit Mt Mundoonen, however the summit is not in the park. So entered the park just behind the sign, where there was a boundary fence. Set up close to the fence


Looking back the other way

Shack on the table. The hill made it a bit awkward...


Got on 40 m. Unfortunately not quiet, had about an S3 of noise from the nearby power lines. At least good mobile coverage so able to spot myself on parksnpeaks. Worked the following

VK2VW
VK7QP
VK4SYD
ZL1TM
VK4NH VK4DXA ZL4TY/VK4
VK2FSAV
VK5WU

Callers seemed to dry up, so went to 80 m. A few more contacts.

VK3SQ
VK4AAC/2 VK2VH

As getting late in the day and had at least qualified the park for VKFF, packed up and headed home.
