Lind National Park VKFF-0287

After activating Bondi Gulf NP drove down the Monaro Hwy to Cann River, then headed West on the Princes Hwy to my next park, Lind National Park VKFF-0287. This is close to the the highway. Sign for the park near Lind Park Rd.


Followed Lind Park Rd to the start of Euchre Valley Nature Drive


Euchre Valley Nature Drive was closed off...


As no traffic to worry about, set up the station on the road.


Operating spot. Map from Google Maps


Shack on the table. The blue bottle is insect repellent, the mosquitoes were bad here :(


Started on 80m, only one contact, VK3PF Peter a fairly strong 58 even in the middle of the day.

Went to 40m. Band conditions were even worse here than the morning park, could hardly hear anyone... Made some more contacts, slowly...

After 6 contacts gave it away as obvious the bands in very poor shape, and still some distance to drive. Packed up and continued West on the Princes Hwy. Note this park is one of the 45 Victorian National  parks for the Keith Roget Memorial National Parks Award (KRMNPA), which only needs a contact from the park to qualify it.
