Border Bushwalking Club - Lockhart’s Gap Track Walk
2026-05-17 10:00 - 16:30 | Check the event listing for venue details, Australia
This is an out and back hike on the Lockhart’s Gap Track near Tallangatta, starting at the Tallangatta Lookout. The first hour is a very steep, thigh burning uphill climb on a fire maintenance road so you’ll need to be physically fit for the challenge! From the top of the climb the walking becomes a bit more cruisy but be warned there are still some very steep ups and downs to follow. Hike poles are recommended. This is a great hit out if you’re thinking of the Lockhart’s Gap Crossover Walk later in the year or maybe tackling Bogong. We’ll walk for a couple of hours on the track before taking a short break and then retracing our steps and gathering at the Lookout for a shared afternoon tea before heading our separate ways. There is the option to meet for a coffee (or even breakfast) at the Yellow Picket Fence Cafe in Tallangatta beforehand as the walk will not start until 10:00am.
