Legerwood is a small settlement between Scottsdale and Ringarooma. Its best-known public place is a group of trees planted as First World War memorials and later carved after their health declined.
Living memorial to carved figures
The original avenue commemorated local men who died in the war. In the early 2000s, chainsaw artist Eddie Freeman carved the remaining trunks into figures connected with those servicemen and community life.
The carvings are memorials, not playground equipment. Keep children and pets from climbing them, and read the on-site interpretation before photographing details.
A short rural stop
Facilities are limited, and the memorial area sits beside a through road. Park in designated space and keep access clear.
Allow 30 to 60 minutes. Combine Legerwood with Scottsdale and north-east Tasmania, rather than expecting a full town itinerary.
