Kulwin Flora Reserve VKFF-2354

Posted on by

After leaving the Kulwin Flora & Fauna Reserve, I headed to the similarly named but different park, the Kulwin Flora Reserve VKFF-2354.

The park is located about 27 km east of Ouyen in northwest Victoria.

The park is located on Boland Road, Kulwin.

The park is recorded as the Kulwin Nature Conservation Reserve on Google Maps.

However, it is accurately named on MapShare Victoria.

The park is about 109 hectares in size and was established on the 8th day of May 1990. (CAPAD 2022)

I ran the Yaesu FT857d, 40 watts, and the 20/40/80m linked dipole for this activation. There was plenty of room off Boland Road to set up. I started the activation on 20m by booking into the ANZA DX Net. However I did not get many callers, so I moved up to 14.300 and within a minute ended up with a mini pileup.

I worked the following stations on 20m SSB:-
