The word around old Brisbane town
Is there’s nothing to do in Logan
It is such a long way down,
To visit, you must be jokin’!
But those of us who live down here
Have never had regrets
For we know life abounds ‘round here
Logan’s South-east Q’s best-kept secret!
With shopping centres all around
We stock everything you need
And restaurants and coffee shops
Where you can grab a good feed!
“But no one wants to come here”, I hear you say
So let me change your mind
We have mountains, lakes and rivers
And parks of many kinds.
There’s Daisy Hill State Forest
Koala habitat and park
There you can go wildlife spotting
With a ranger after dark.
I’m very glad I live here
And I want you all to know
That I have travelled far and wide
Even to places many don’t go.
And I have never seen so many birds
‘Cept here in my suburb where,
In the garden I’ve seen and heard
Birds common and birds rare.
But there’s one more thing I’ve left till last
And that was my intention.
It’s the diversity of Logan people
That deserves a special mention.
We come from many cultures here
And that makes us unique
We all respect each other
No matter what language we speak.
We have festivals aplenty
A mix of music, beliefs and sports abound
Celebrating lands from near and far
Logan’s a mix of sights and sound.
So don’t be strangers, don’t be shy
Come on down and meet
A lovely bunch of girls and guys
Logan hospitality is a treat!
Gaill Macciocca,
