WWFF 2025 Marathon Awards

The Awards for the WWFF 2025 Marathon were made available to download. I picked up several, a trip up to Queensland activating several parks on the way probably helped lol. 

 

Eagles Claw Nature Reserve VKFF-2593

Staying at Merimbula for a few days, decided to activate a few WWFF parks around Eden. One of these was Eagles Claw Nature Reserve, VKFF-2593. This is a small park just to the South of the town of Eden, not far from the Eden port. Followed Bramble St to the East, turned off onto an unnamed road and parked. After a short walk reached a Rotary lookout in the park.

Not far from here a sign on the fence, Eagles Claw Nature Reserve set up to protect Little Penguins nesting here.

Good views from the lookout.

Set up the squid pole on the railing of the lookout.

Strung out the dipole legs just below the lookout.

A handy seat at the lookout for the radio and myself.
