After leaving the Chinkapook Nature Conservation Park on Friday, the 7th day of November 2025, Marija and I headed a short distance to our next park, the Lianiduck Nature Conservation Reserve VKFF-2368.
The reserve is located on the western side of Robinvale-SeaLake Road, at the junction with Lake Wahpool Road.
Lianiduck is believed to derive from the Aboriginal word liangeduck, meaning teeth. The Lianiduck Nature Conservation Reserve is about 306 hectares in size and was established on the 1st day of May 1979. (Blake 1977) (Dcceew.gov.au 2025)
This was an easy park to access. We found a dirt track leading into the park. Marija and I ran the Yaesu FT857, 40 watts, and the 20/40/80m linked dipole.
Marija worked the following stations on 40m SSB:-
- VK2YK
- VK5GA
- VK3PF
- VK3KAI
- VK2ZR
- VK2AZR
- VK2ZRX
- VK5FANA
- VK1AO
- VK2MET

After packing up, we drove to Ouyen and booked into our accommodation.
We then headed out to the Victoria Hotel at Ouyen, where we enjoyed a very nice meal.
After dinner, we decided to activate a few more parks, rather than spending the evening watching TV in the motel room.
