Find Yourself… in Amazing ForbesConveniently located around the half way point on the Newell Highway, and nestled in the heart of the Lachlan Valley, Forbes is an ideal place to pull up, unwind and enjoy a few days of leisurely activity – especially if you’ve got a “home away from home” on wheels.With its charming historic buildings and rich history, natural beauty and breathtaking landscapes, mesmerising works of art and a unique boutique shopping, you can expect a holiday experience to rival any.Amazing Forbes is the perfect location to set up camp and to explore many more of the beautiful and intriguing towns that make up Central West NSW including Parkes, Condobolin and Cowra – just to name a few.Lake Forbes is truly idyllic, so where better to situate the 48-hour free RV Rest Stop than on the banks of the lake, surrounded by beautiful, shady gums.

'Locky’, as the locals affectionately term their town, is a small tight knit dairy farming community, located 198km north of Melbourne. The town was named in the 20th century after William Lockington, a prominent Jesuit Priest within the community. Today, Lockington has one pub, one school, three churches and a small selection of shops. Casual parking is available in all main streets, with short and long-term parking at Lockington Travellers Rest, corner of Lockington and Pannoo Roads. There is a negotiable stay limit with a donation of $10 per vehicle per night for an unpowered site and $20 for a powered site. The dump point is also located at Lockington Travellers Rest and potable water is available at the Lions Park lawn area in Lockington Road.Lockington is the perfect base for travellers when they require a well needed rest. There are walking tracks along the irrigation channel network which features the ‘Loch Ness’ yabby, a giant crustacean which can be pulled from the channel, and like many country towns, the pub is the heart of the community with traditional home cooked meals and friendly atmosphere.Tourist/Visitor Information Centre        Lockington District Business Centre9-11 Lockington Rd, Lockington VICPh 03 5486 2683www.campaspe.vic.gov.auCasual Parking       All main streets in LockingtonShort & Long Term ParkingLockington Travellers Rest, Lockington Rd & Pannoo Rd,donation of $10 pvpn, unpwr; $20 pvpn pwr.
