Daisy Hill

 

 

 

Welcome to Daisy Hill
Daisy Hill is a suburb of Logan City. It lies between the Pacific Motorway and the Daisy Hill Conservation Park.  The Dennis family were first Europeans to settle at Daisy Hill. James Dennis immigrated in 1864 on the ship Flying Cloud. In 1867 he married Mary Ann Markwell. Around 1870 they began selecting land in the now Daisy Hill area, eventually acquiring over 800 acres. They named the property Daisy Hill, supposedly because their daughters saw daisies growing on the hill. Other early pioneers were the Usher family, who grew grapes and made and sold wine.

The Daisy Hill State Forest was declared a timber reserve in 1874. In 1917 it was declared a State Forest and in 1986 a State Forest Park. The forest was used for timber gathering, honey making, gold mining and grazing. In 2006, it was gazetted as Daisy Hill Conservation Park to be used for habitat conservation and recreation.
