Located in the heart of South-East Queensland, Logan is a vibrant and connected city, home to more than 300,000 residents. We are a city of diverse communities with urban, rural and semi-rural lifestyles, and there is so much to see and experience here. This book contains a selection of images that showcase our great city through the eyes and lenses of local residents and visitors. These images illustrate just some of the natural beauty, active recreation and cultural pursuits and people that make up our diverse city. We are proud of the many local assets and attractions the City of Logan has to offer and I trust you will enjoy this unique photographic collection.
