Lake Tyers State Park VKFF-0761

After lunch in Lakes Entrance headed East on the Princes Hwy, then NE heading to Nowa Nowa. Turned off into Lake Tyers State Park on Burnt Bridge Rd on the right. A short drive to a picnic area and sign for the park.

Took Cherry Tree track on the left to Cherry Tree picnic area. A nice spot on an arm of Lake Tyers. Looking North

Looking South.

The picnic area was in use, plus being down in a valley no mobile reception, so headed back along Cherry Tree Track to a place I spotted on the way in, a loop track off the track for the start of a walk, Marsdenia Rainforest Walk. Used the walk sign for squid pole support

Plenty of room for the 80 m dipole

Operating Spot. Map from Open Street Maps

Shack on the table.

Got on 40m. Conditions had improved a lot since the morning park and started getting small pileups of hunters. Worked
