With a nice mild sunny day in Canberra decided to get out and do a WWFF park activation. I returned to Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve, VKFF-0855. Had not been there since 2019, and another activation for the Boomerang Award.
Drove along Mulligans Flat Rd, turning left at the roundabout just before the ACT-NSW border. There is an access point here for horses onto the Bicentennial National Trail on the left. Sign for Little Mulligans, the Northern section of Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve

Carried my gear into the park and set up, using the horse gate support for the squid pole support.

Tested the SWR on 40m. Resonating a little high in the band but okay to use. Dipole is fairly broad anyway.
Got on 40 m and spotted myself on 7.144 on ParksnPeaks. A steady stream of callers
VK2VW/VK2HFI, VK2IO, VK2LX, VK1RF/2, VK3DAE.

Tried 20 m. a couple of contacts, VK1AD Andrew and VK5HAA John.
Packed up and headed home for afternoon tea.
