Geocache Description:

A man-made forest containing the memories of 150 years of early settlement in Logan Village features stories about settlers that were nominated by the community. A place of learning and reflection for both locals and visitors.


There are 15 totems in the forest, which are lit up by a spectacular light show at night, making the installation a vibrant addition to the area. Each ‘totem’ has three sides, with images of historic figures from Logan Village's history over the past 150 years. Notable figures who have influenced the Village’s development include Captain Patrick Logan, US Army Sgt Gerald O’Cable and locals including William Drynan and Robert Towns.Life and times of the Village have also been documented on interpretive bollards, with images of timber getters, the wharf on Logan River, working ships and life around town.

The last crocodile in Logan River also makes an appearance of a reminder of times gone by, and the changes that have occurred.

Built as a living museum of the life and times of Logan Village, the forest will serve as a reminder of our past, and a pointer to the bright future ahead for Logan Village.

I would strongly encourage Cachers to make sure they make both daytime and night visits to get the full experience – the photos and stories as well as the light show
