Pioneers Memorial Gateway

A tribute to the early settlers, these words grace the plaque recording Lockhart's Pioneers on the Memorial Gateway at the entrance to Lockhart Showground situated on Urana Road.

"They came with faith alone..... drought hindered, but nothing daunted them..... Green fields rose from the wilderness..... God has blessed us with the fruits of their toil."

An impressive feature, the twenty two life sized replica bales of wool forming the columns of the entrance gates each bear the stenciled wool brand of the districts original sheep stations.

Together with the silhouette bullock wagon, they are a proud symbol of the age in which our forebearers laboured.

Unveiled in 1962, this unique Memorial was built with funds provided by the descendants of those very pioneers. Their names can be seen on many street signs throughout the town.
