"Rik and I headed in somewhat different directions today, with me making my way to Wodonga and Rik returning to Melbourne. But we first activated a couple of nearby summits separately so that we could make contact with each other. I headed to Mount Livingstone VK3/VG-045. I parked at the locked gate and walked up the road to the summit. I set up and made 9 contacts, including Rik on VK3/VG-030. I packed up and returned to the car, passing Rik on his way up the hill. I headed to Mount Hotham VK3/VE-006 to park below the summit and walking up to the trig. I worked Rik on Mount Livingstone plus 8 others. I then headed to Harrietville to purchase some food, again meeting up with Rik briefly before heading up onto the ridges to the west.
