A partial list: POTA has no list of WA hunters, so this covers the 41 VK6 callsigns we can find as activators or as regular hunters of WA parks. Hunt parks too? Ask to be added.
Parks waiting for a first activation
989 of WA's 1,463 parks have never been activated, 45 of them within about 40 km of Perth, such as Carnac Island Nature Park (AU-2906), Moondyne Convention Centre Resources Area (AU-3006), Banksia Nature Park (AU-3046), Balannup Lake Nature Reserve (AU-3351). NewsWest is always glad to hear about a first activation.
