Lockhart River Aboriginal Shire

Lockhart River Aboriginal Shire is best known in Australia for its Aboriginal arts community, represented by the Lockhart River Art Centre. Set on Queensland’s eastern Cape York Peninsula, it extends through remote country shaped by the Lockhart River and the nearby Coral Sea coast. Tropical woodland, coastal heath and monsoon-season conditions define this sparsely settled part of Far North Queensland. Nearby Kutini-Payamu (Iron Range) National Park protects an important area of lowland rainforest and woodland. Art is a prominent public expression in Lockhart River, with local artists bringing Indigenous stories and contemporary practice to national audiences. Reaching the area requires careful planning, particularly when seasonal weather affects roads.
