"I was in Wodonga and saw that Rik VK3EQ was planning a couple of summits on Eskdale Spur. I made contact and arranged to join him and John VK3JSN. Rik drove. We headed to Lockhart Gap and headed south on Eskdale Spur Road. A couple of minor issues including a tree fallen across the road caused some delays. Wed rove to below the summit of Peak 1035 m AKA VK3/VE-130. We climbed up to the summit and activated. We climbed back down and retraced our route to the NW side of VK3/VE-144 Peak 957 m to park. We walked up through the scrub to the summit and activated. We returned to the car and drove to south of Lockhart VK3/VE-135. We again walked up through the scrub, this time in the rain to reach the summit and activated. We returned to the car and Rik dropped me at my car, parked at Lockhart Gap. Rik and John headed towards Mitta Mitta whilst I returned to Wodonga." — peterfreeman • Jul 26, 2016

"Another day trip out from Wodonga. Travelled out to Lockhart Gap and then swung NE onto Powerline Road then north on Lockharts Gap Track and drove out to Peak 893 m, known in SOTA as VK3/VE-159. Parked down the hill and walked up to the summit to set up and activate the summit, making 44 contacts. I packed up, returned to the car and travelled back to Lockhart Gap and then drove up Eskdale Spur Road to the saddle beyond Lockhart summit to park. An old track to the summit is heavily overgrown near the junction with Eskdale Spur Road. I bush bashed for a couple of hundred metres until the old track was visible on my right and then moved across to it to continue the approach. As the terrain steepened, the old track was overgrown with fallen timber and blackberry thickets, so I started making my way to the southern spur and made my way up to the summit, setting up the radio gear near the trig. I made 18 contacts before I packed up and roughly retraced my route back down to the car. " — peterfreeman • Dec 22, 2013
