"A longer day trip from Wodonga. Travelled out to reach Ikes Mountain. Visited the summit Trig (with the name "Bogandyera") then found a spot which was inside the summit Activation Zone and also inside the Bogandyera Nature Reserve to the west of the summit to set up and activation the summit VK2/SW-030 and the Nature Reserve. I made 12 contacts before packing up and returning to the car. I exitted out to Tumbarumba and travelled around to Granite Mountain VK2/SW-015 to set up close to the trig. I made 10 contacts. I then returned to Elliott Way and travelled around to Pilot Reef Mountain and set up close to the trig to activate VK2/SW-021 with 11 contacts. I retraced my route to Elliot Way and headed back to Wodonga." — peterfreeman • Oct 12, 2018

"I was based with a family member near Walwa for a few days. Drove to Granite Mountain in southern NSW on Boxing Day. Parked a little down the track and walked up to the summit trig. Set up the radio gear in the shade of some trees beside the access road and activated Granite Mountain VK2/SW-015 with 18 contacts. Packed up and walked back to the car. Drove back to Elliot Way and headed around to Black Jack Logging Road and onto Nurenmerenmong Road and then south to reach Pilot Reef Mountain VK2/SW-021. Parked down the track and walked up to the summit and set up near the trig. Qualified the summit with 15 contacts. Packed up and returned to the car. Drove back to Elliot Way and headed towards Tumbarumba before heading south towards Corryong. Drove on towards Shelley and made my way to below Peak 858 m. Parked at the base of the access track and walked up to the summit to set up. Activated VK3/VE-167, making 10 contacts before packing up. Returned to the car and drove back to Walwa." — peterfreeman • Dec 26, 2013
