My third park for Wednesday 21st August 2024 was the Kia I242 Bushland Reserve VKFF-4229.
It was just a short drive from the Kia I242A Bushland Reserve to reach this park which is located about 23 km north of Ouyen in northwest Victoria.

The reserve is located in the southern side of Box Flat Road.

The reserve is about 20 hectares in size and was established on the 8th day of May 1990. (CAPAD 2022)
This was another park that was not easy to string out the 20/40/80m dipole. So much so that the 80m sections were lying on the ground amongst the mallee scrub. But the antenna still seemed to perform okay.
