After a night in Melbourne, I headed home with a detour via the ranges near Powelltown. I drove to Gladysdale and then onto Mount Beenak Road and around to the locked gate below the summit. I parked and walked up the hill to the summit of Mt Beenak VK3/VC-016 and fire tower. I retreated back down the hill a short distance to find a spot to set up away from the infrastructure. I set up the gear and made 10 contacts before packing up and returning to the car and heading for home.
