Hills Hoist is a height-adjustable rotary clothes line, invented in Adelaide, Australia by Lance Hill in 1945. However, Lance Hill finally patented his rotary clothes line on March 22, 1956.

It is distinguished from other rotary clothes lines by a crown and pinion winding mechanism allowing the clothesline to be lowered and raised. Hills Hoist and similar derivatives remain a common fixture in many backyards in Australia and New Zealand. It is considered one of Australia's most recognisableicons, and is used frequently by artists as a metaphor for Australian suburbia in the 1950s and '60s.
