Murramarang Aboriginal Area VKFF-3237

Drove down to accommodation in Batemans Bay, stopped overnight and left to activate WWFF park Murramarang Aboriginal Area VKFF-3237. Drove to Termeil, turned off to Bawley Point on the right. Drove South on Murramarang Road, just past the Bawley Point shops a car park on the left. Parked here. There was a walking track at the Southern end of the car park, with a sign for Racecourse Beach. Followed this for about half a Km until reaching Racecourse Beach. This is not in the park.

There was a track off to the left, followed this track.

After a short walk saw the sign for the park, had reached the park boundary.

Continued on into the park. A sign explaining about the area, used as a feasting, gathering place by aboriginals for thousands of years. Shellfish remnant piles, or middens in the area.

The tracks were designed to keep your feet dry and avoid damage to the middens.

A sign showing a map of the area.

A bit up the hill from the sign a nice sunny open area. Set up here, used a track sign as squid pole support. Dipole legs tied to bushes.

Operating spot and track in, walked about 800m. Map from Mapbox from the Alltrails app.

Radio on the tarp on the grass. As on a small battery set the power down to 30w.

Got on 40m. Able to spot myself easily on ParksnPeaks, got a small pileup of callers, most strong signals.
