......Embrace the Spirit of country Australia..
See country ingenuity at its best with major awards for farm sculpture, and art exhibitions entitled “Elements, Emotions and Expressions of the Land”.
$10,000 first prize for the National Farm Art Competition
plus an extra $5000 in additional prize money. What an opportunity to find a piece of new or used or recycled farm material and create a piece of work.
Join in the arts trail, take a dunny and shed tour, view vintage gliders or- for the more adventurous- a joy ride over the plains. For golfers there is a professional coaching clinic and 9 hole tournament on the town’s unique sand greens.
A HUGE market day where Lockhart goes on sale with garage sales, car boot sales and street stalls, excotic foods and local wines. Dance in the street, party with us on Saturday 25th October with entertainment, food, yarn telling, busking and more…..
See what farmers can do with grey water in our stunning garden tours and join us at the Lockhart Picnic Races, the largest country race meeting in NSW.
Sample home cooking and real country fare with the biggest lil dinner party in the Riverina. Stone the crows…there’s even a picnic for scarecrows.
