140th Heritage Festival

In Croydon, history doesn’t sit quietly behind glass. It greets you on the street, catches your eye in unexpected corners, and quietly reminds you that this small outback town once played a very big role in Queensland’s story.
In 2026, Croydon celebrates 140 years since gold changed everything, and the Heritage Festival invites you to be part of that story — not just to observe it, but to experience it.

For one special week from 20 to 26 June, the town comes together to celebrate what makes Croydon so deeply loved: its stories, its creativity, and its strong sense of community.

Lockhart - NSW RVFT

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.
