Information on Lock, 5631

Lock is a small farming town in the geographic centre of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, serving as the region's main grain storage hub. Named in 1918 after Corporal Albert Lock, who was killed in Belgium during World War I, the town offers essential services including a hotel, caravan park, motel, supermarket, and sporting facilities.

The Lock and Districts Heritage Museum, housed in a former police station from the 1930s, displays wartime, farming, and domestic equipment.

Lock sits at the intersection of the Tod Highway and Birdseye Highway, making it a convenient stopover for travellers exploring the peninsula.
