Lockhart is a charming Riverina town located 530 kilometres south-west of Sydney via the Hume and Sturt Highways. Listed by the National Trust, its old-world charm lies in the wide main street verandas, ornate lacework and carefully restored facades of its buildings. Leeton was named Green’s Gunyah in the 1850s after Mr Green, who set up a roadside shack that became a watering hole for travellers. The New Gunyah Hotel and ruins of the original stables now stand on this site. Renamed Lockhart in 1896, the district is today renowned as a centre for farming excellence. The Green’s Gunyah Historic Museum has displays depicting the historic Brookong, Rand and Urangeline Stations and information on the famous 1888 Brookong Shearers’ Strike. This strike had a role in the lead-up to the Barcaldine Strike in 1891 and the formation of the Australian Labour Party. The museum is also host to the Doris Golder Gallery with its unique wool paintings.Those visiting Lockhart can find short-term parking at Lockhart Showgrounds, Treasure Street. Sites are free for up to 24 hours, however a donation of $5 is appreciated and a donation box is provided. The showground gates styled from life-sized wool bales are a tribute to the early settlers of the district and form a grand entrance to the Grandstand and Bar Pavilion. These turn of the century buildings are used on the picnic race day in October and at the annual Agricultural & Pastoral Show.Around town, admire the restored buildings, browse in the craft and antique shops and step through the town’s history etched into the main street pavers. For the more adventurous, there are walking tracks at Galore Hill. This 500 hectare nature reserve has a lookout tower which affords panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The Spirit of the Land Festival, celebrating regional art in country Australia, is held annually on the second weekend in October. Other activities include tours of the Urangeline Shearing Shed, wineries and Opera at Sunset. Take a wander through town in the evening to enjoy the twinkling fairy-lights that brighten up the town’s historic buildings.Tourist/Visitor Information CentreLockhart Council, 69 Green St, Lockhart NSWPh: 02 6920 5305visitlockhartshire.com.auCasual Parking (near retail centre)Designated RV parking in Urana StreetShort Term ParkingLockhart Showgrounds, Treasure St, 24 hours, donation of $5 to is appreciated in box supplied, no facilities..Long Term ParkingLockhart Caravan Park, Green StDump PointLockhart Caravan Park, Green StPotable WaterLockhart Caravan Park, Green StHospitalHebden St, 02 6920 5206Doctors Surgery132 Green St, 02 6920 5249DentistGreen St, 02 6920 5534Pharmacy86 Green St, 02 6920 5538SupermarketIGA, 146 Green St, 02 6920 5543
