Colquhoun Regional Park VKFF-0962

After stopping overnight in Lakes Entrance headed for my first park, Colquhoun Regional Park VKFF-0962. Followed the Princes Hwy out of town to the West, driving through Kalimna West, then turning off on Uncle Rd on the right into the park. This is unsealed but okay for 2WD. Drove to log crossing picnic area. This was nice, however many campers there and down in a gully so not good for radio and phone reception. Continued on Uncle Rd until spotting a suitable stump in the scrub on the side of the road for squid pole support. Set up the station
