The story behind the "Utes in the Paddock" began when Graham and Jana Pickles were inspired by the iconic "Cadillac Ranch" while traveling Route 66 in Texas.
From this idea, a unique tribute to outback life was born. Since 2007, local residents and talented outback artists have come together to create this quirky outdoor gallery, drawing thousands of visitors to the Lachlan Shire to experience a celebration of life in the bush.

No visit to Lake Cargelligo is complete without viewing the amazing water tower mural painted in March 2022 by well- known artist Heesco Khosnaran with assistance of Erin Haywood and Damien Mitchell.
The decommissioned water tower has come to life and attracts visitors from around the globe.
The mural was commissioned by Lakes Alive Progress Association Inc. and funded under the Foundation for Regional and Rural Renewal Tackling Tough Times Together program.

Renowned Australian chainsaw carver Brandon Kroon created the impressive 5metre long Goanna carving located outside the Lachlan Shire Visitor Information Centre in Condobolin.
It’s a symbolic totem for the Wiradjuri Nation. The Goanna, is symbol that connects all people, past and present, of Wiradjuri land.
Brandon masterfully transformed the large, old River Redgum, reclaimed during the construction of the new bridge, into this striking piece of art.
