Loxton

Affectionately known as "The Village", Loxton is a charming river town that still feels if it is locked in the 1800s.

Loxton has an interactive pioneer settlement village that shows you exactly how the grain and citrus farmers and their families persevered along the banks of the Murray since settlement. With over 45 buildings and exhibits in the village, you will truly feel like you have travelled back in time. Admire the work of local artist Tim Baulderstone, who, with a canvas of 16 Aleppo pine tree trunks and armed with a chainsaw and an angle grinder, carved out impressive sculptures of native animals on Bookpurnong Terrace.

Christmas is a magical time of year to be in Loxton, with the 31 day Loxton Christmas Lights Festival beginning on the last day of November and filling the main strip with hundreds of paintings, art exhibitions and light shows right through to the new year to help capture the spirit of Christmas.

With one foot in the past, and one foot running in the future, Loxton brings the best of both worlds clashing together in a vibrant and friendly way.
