21.01.2022 Unfortunately no Spirit of the Land Festival but, if you normally visit Sunshine Nursery over the Spirit of the Land weekend, there is no need to miss out this year.

19.01.2022 We can think of a few here in Lockhart!

07.01.2022 We would love to see our visitors tag both #visitlockhartshire and #spiritofthelandlockhart when sharing all the fantastic photos of our sculptures and our town!

04.01.2022 Spirit of the Land Lockhart Inc has reluctantly made the decision not to go ahead with the Spirit of the Land Festival in 2020. The annual Festival featuring farm art sculptures, fine arts and photography exhibitions as well as market stalls and other attractions, is normally held on the second weekend in October, The restrictions on gatherings, as well as the social distancing rules that have been imposed in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, have created too much uncertaint...y, making planning for the Festival very difficult. Whilst some events can proceed with a limit on gatherings of up to 500, the Spirit of the Land Festival attracts several thousand people to Lockhart for the annual event. We do not believe that we can put on a meaningful festival and comply with the restriction on gatherings as well as the 1.5 metre social distancing rules. We are also mindful of the health risk to our volunteers, many of whom are elderly, as well as the risk to the broader community. We are very grateful for the financial support that our sponsors have provided to us over the years. Indeed the Festival could not proceed in any given year without the support of our sponsors. We are mindful that the Covid-19 pandemic is also having an unprecedented economic impact and that some of our sponsors will be facing their own challenges at this time. In this climate we find it difficult in all consciousness to request their support for a festival in 2020. Bearing in mind that the Festival first began as a celebration of the community’s resilience, we hope that with the support of our sponsors, volunteers, and the local community, the Festival will return next year even stronger. Peter Veneris, President

03.01.2022 Today would normally see the committee working very hard to bring all the final elements together for the 2020 Festival. Instead, we'll share a few images from past Festivals. Looking forward to planning a wonderful event next year. Feel free to share any of your own favourite photos taken in the comments section of this post.

03.01.2022 Looking forward to seeing Tim finished and installed in Boree Creek, only a 20 minute drive from Lockhart.

02.01.2022 Happy Father's Day to all our wonderful Dad followers.

01.01.2022 "Eagle" by Stuart Taylor greets visitors to Lockhart entering from the south. Surrounded by native grasses on the edge of a quaint park planted with lovely grevillea and callistimon.
