Lockhart Shire Walk of Fame
Recently established as part of the Lockhart Sculpture and Heritage Trail, the Walk of Fame, set in Walter Day Park, is a tribute to the remarkable accomplishments of former residents of Lockhart Shire who have shaped Australia’s rich and varied heritage.
Celebrating ordinary Australians from our districts past, the Walk of Fame honours significant individuals who achieved extraordinary feats and have contributed to the character and awareness of Lockhart Shire.
The incredible achievements of our home grown heroes are testimony that even a small rural area can produce people with outstanding skills, and it is important to remember these amazing people for the contribution they have made.
Those honoured include
pioneers, artists, sports stars, entrepreneurs and others whose endeavours have
led to outstanding national and worldwide success and recognition.
