Illawong Walk Trackhead

Highlight • Trail

There is a gravel parking area off Mount Tate Road here, with a sign and access to Illawong Walk. This track leads to the Illawong Suspension Bridge, the Illawong Lodge, and also connects to Snowies Alpine Walk. There are no facilities here, but it is the most direct entry point to the Illawong Walk, especially if you are just here for a day walk.

Illawong Suspension Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

This well-maintained suspension bridge crossing the Hacking River is one of the main highlights along the Illawong Walk. This is a good turn-around point for those doing a day walk, but if you continue from here, the trail connects to Mount Tate and a larger loop.
