My next activation for Thursday 22nd August 2024 was the Tiega I80 Bushland Reserve VKFF-4204.
The reserve is about 11 km west of Ouyen in northwest Victoria.

I had been out here at Tiega the day before when I activated the Tiega I81 Bushland Reserve.
It was quite a warm day and as a result I saw several lizards enjoying the sunshine.
The Tiega I80 Bushland Reserve is located on the southern side of Mallee Highway opposite Le Couteur Road and the Tiega I81 Bushland Reserve.
