Mount Raymond Regional Park VKFF-0975

After activating Lind National Park headed West on the Princes Hwy, through the small localities of Bellbird Creek and Cabbage Tree Creek, until turning off onto Tower RD to my next park, Mount Raymond Regional Park, VKFF-0975.

Followed Tower Rd and turned off to the lookout. A sign for the park next to the communications towers for the park.

 Close up of the sign, with some information on the park. Mount Raymond is 300 m high.

View from the lookout, looking SW towards Marlo

The nearby communications towers. Did not seem to worry me on the amateur bands.

A trig, hiding away on the other side of the towers to the lookout.

Just down from the trig was a rough service track heading down, set up the station there, using a tree stump for support.

Looking back the other way to the towers.

Operating spot. Map from Google Maps

Shack on the table.

Got on 40m. Asked if 7.144 Mhz was in use, VK5BJE John answered me to say it was clear so worked him... Worked VK5FSAM, then a park to park with VK6MB/5 Mike in VKFF-0788 Scott Creek Conservation Park, as per my last park.
