On 26th February 2017 I activated the Greenhill Recreation Park VKFF-1712, which overlooks the city of Adelaide in South Australia.

The park is located just down the road from Yarrabee Road Greenhill, which was heavily impacted during the 1983 ‘Ash Wednesday’ bushfires.  Over 3,700 homes and buildings were destroyed and 75 people lost their lives in South Australia and Victoria.  Of those, five people died at Yarrabee Road, Greenhill.

I made a total of 70 contacts in the log on 80, 40, and 20m from VK1, VK2, VK3, VK4, VK5, VK6, VK7, New Zealand, Slovak Republic, Japan, Italy, Slovenia, and Belgium.  There was a small opening on 20m long path to Europe.

On 19th February 2017 I activated the Brownhill Creek Recreation Park VKFF-1688, which is located about 8 km south east of the city of Adelaide in South Australia.

The park is about 51 hectares in size and features majestic River Red Gums, some of which are more than 300 years old.

I made a total of 62 contacts from around VK.  There was no long path propagation to Europe on 20m unfortunately.

On 17th February 2017 I activated the Mount George Conservation Park VKFF-0784 which is located in the Mount Lofty Ranges, east of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia.

Unfortunately the weather forced me to go QRT early and I only logged 15 stations from VK, including one Park to Park contact with VK3HSB in the Lake Eildon National Park VKFF-0625 in Victoria.
