Carwarp West I224 Bushland Reserve VKFF-4144

After leaving Carwarp West I12 Bushland Reserve on Monday 19th August 2024, I drove a little further along Bronwport Road until I reached my next park activation, the Carwarp West I224 Bushland Reserve VKFF-4144.

The reserve is about 35 km south of Mildura in northwest Victoria.
