Geocache Description:


A road side rest stop containing a couple of interesting plaques.

Patrick Logan, Commandant of Moreton Bay Settlement (1826 - 1830) camped in this valley June 9-10 1827. When his friend, explorer Allan Cunningham, discoverer of the Darling Downs, was camped at Logan Vale just beyond the double topped Mt Mitchell on the skyline.

Cunningham passed through the valley August 18-29 1828 to discover Cunningham's Gap

"...and so, to point the way
and wake with voices today
The silence of primevil years"

Apart from the plaques there are a couple of early pioneer gravesites located nearby. S27 57.423 E152 34.855 (thanks IF and robynk)

A reasonably large area with plenty of trees ...that you can park under. A small shelter shed and information board are also located in the area. Toilets (not the best) are also provided.
