Glenorchy Streamside Reserve VKFF-3707

Posted on by

After activating Hunts Bushland Reserve on 30th October 2024, Marija VK5MAZ and I crossed Campbells Bridge Road and activated the Glenorchy Streamside Reserve VKFF-3707.

The reserve is located on the southern side of Campbell’s Bridge Road. The southern boundary of the park is the Wimmera River. Dunmunkle Creek, a distributary of the Wimmera River, can be found here. The creek takes its name from the Celtic word dun, meaning chief’s dwelling, and muckle, meaning great. (Blake 1978)

The reserve is about 13 hectares in size and was established on the 24th day of August 1982. (CAPAD 2022)
