Australia Day Celebrations 2004
Lockhart Shire community has a strong national spirit and for a number of years now the majority of the planning and coordination of Australia Day activities are organised by local committees, with Councils financial assistance.
In 2004 Australia Day was hosted by the community of Yerong Creek.
