Ernest E. "Curly" HeckendorfPrint Page 
An aviary was erected to commemorates Ernest E. "Curly" Heckendorf for his services to Lockhart and District.
Ernest Heckendorf, known around Lockhart as “Curly”, was one of the town’s leading citizens for many years and there was hardly an organisation in which he had not played a part in at some time. He served five years in the army in World War Two, including over three years as a prisoner of war of the Japanese on the Burma Railway.
He served for 12 years on the Lockhart Shire Council and 25 years as a director of the Pastures Protection Board.
The aviary was in the park for 40 years and was removed when maintenance costs were deemed too high, and only the plaque remains.
