Trekked out VKFF-2014 today. It was a pretty hard slog; in all of getting there the trek up and down the hill five times (I'll explain later) Contacts First off, I had Bill message me that he only had 45 minutes left in a very rare park, so I intended to grab the magnetic loop … Continue reading 2018-07-30 Wambina Nature Reserve
VKFF-1340 is a strange "park". It's dotted in many discrete sections around the Lake. I drove up the Pacific Highway to just past Montefiore Rd, which looks to be closest to Catherine Hill Bay. There was a gate into a slightly raised area that I could set up in. Turns out I was about 144m … Continue reading 2018-07-28 Lake Macquarie State Conservation Area
Headed out to do the park that is actually closest to home but I had not yet done as I couldn't see an easy way in. The park reference is VKFF-2005, and the grid locator is QF56rq. Gerard pointed me at a spot where he was able to pull over that was inside the park … Continue reading 2018-07-23 Tuggerah Nature Reserve
This activation took me three consecutive days. I'll put them all in to the one blog entry. July 19 Well the plan today was to go to Iron Bark Picnic Area in Popran National Park. What put pain to that was a very steep 21m rise in the road about 600m from the park as … Continue reading 2018-07-19/20/21 Dharug National Park

When I was at Tuggerah State Conservation Area (VKFF-1383) the day before, I needed my tent peg mallet to put some pegs in to guy the star picket holding the squid … Continue reading 2018-07-11 Blue Gum Hills Regional Park
Today I activated VKFF-1383. While pretty local to me, this one had presented a bit of a challenge as I couldn't see a good spot to get in and work from. I was initially considering the gate on Geoffrey Rd, but it is still close to houses and power lines. Gerard mentioned that he went … Continue reading 2018-07-10 Tuggerah State Conservation Area
Headed out to a new park yesterday, VKFF-2741. As such, I was the first activator. Given that I grew up a stones throw from here, that's only reasonable First thing that you may notice is that the quality of the photos is down a little. It's not that I forgot the Digital SLR camera. I … Continue reading 2018-07-09 Tingira Heights Nature Reserve
