After leaving Coffs Harbour continued North on the Pacific Hwy. When driving through the town of Broadwater saw a sign for Broadwater National Park, so decided to go activate it.
Drove down the Broadwater-Evans Head Rd, turning off onto Broadwater Beach Rd. Sign for the park.
At the end turned left on Finns Trail to a picnic area in the park. There were picnic tables, so for a change no need to use my own table and chair. Set up easily on the table.

While operating got a visit from this cute wallaby :)
Got on 40 m. Signals quite strong, but as a week day slow going. Worked the following
VK4FDJL
VK4AAC/3 Rob in VKFF-2404 Moyston Flora Reserve
VK2ESG
ZL1TM
VK2IO
VK2MG/p Alan in VKFF-2014 Wambina Nature Reserve
Alan was struggling getting 44 contacts... He went to 80 m to get more contacts, I did the same as 40 m was too quiet.
On 80 m worked
VK4TJ, VK4/AC8WN, VK4/VE6XT
VK2MG/p Alan again in VKFF-2014 Wambina Nature Reserve.
As had 10 contacts and needed to keep driving, packed up. Had a brief look at the nearby beach. View to the North

As you can see it was a really nice day. Continued driving North to stop overnight in Ballina.
