'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 $15 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.
