Hills Hoist

A Hills Hoist is a traditional Australian rotary clothesline, typically made of a tall metal pole with multiple arms arranged in a circle. It rotates to allow hanging laundry, such as sheets and clothing, in the sun and wind for efficient drying. Its design often includes a retractable or fixed mechanism for easy use. Known for durability and practicality, the Hills Hoist is a common backyard feature in Australia, valued for its ability to handle large loads of laundry while taking advantage of natural elements to reduce energy use.
