Our final park for Thursday 9th November 2023 was the Murrayville Flora & Fauna Reserve VKFF-2407 and the Murrayville silo VK-MRL3.

This was not a planned activation for us. We decided to head out to activate the park following our evening meal at the Murrayville Hotel.

The Murrayville Flora & Fauna Reserve is about 254 hectares in size and was established on the 8th day of May 1990. The park is also referred to as the Murrayville Nature Conservation Reserve. The park is divided into three sections.

We operated from the southwestern corner of the park.
