Statement of Significance
The Lang Lookout has considerable historic significance for its association with George Elliot Lang.
Physical Description
Situated near the top of Dinner Hill Lang Lookout consists of a viewing area marked by timber posts and a large memorial rock with a plaque attached. The site commands far reaching views of the surrounding farmland.
History
In the early 1950’s land around what became known as Badgingarra was opened up and developed for farming. One of the pioneer farmers, George Elliot Lang, was granted land in the vicinity of Dinner Hill five miles north of Badgingarra Pool on the Hill River. Lang was instrumental in the formation of the Badgingarra Progress Association as well as being responsible for the construction of roads in the area. He was also a keen nature lover. The Lang Memorial was opened in 1973 by John F. Morgan, the Surveyor General, in recognition of the impact George Lang had on the area.
