About the Tour

This walking tour takes you on a loop around the picturesque heritage town of Lockhart, known for its pretty verandahs with their ornate iron lacework. Along the way, we’ll discover various points of historical interest, but this agricultural Riverina region town is perhaps most famous for being home to the annual Spirit of the Land Festival. The National Farm Art competition is hosted here during the festival and we’ll see 17 of the sculptures in its permanent collection during our walk, and hear from some of the artists behind them. We’ll also stop to see the most recent winner, displayed outside the caravan park. The audio includes descriptions of the art for the visually impaired, too.

Some of the highlights include:

  • The Greens Gunyah Museum
  • Walter Day Park and its Walk of Fame exhibit
  • The Lockhart Love Locks harbour
  • The Water Tower Mural

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
