Toohey Forest, located in Brisbane’s southern suburbs, has a history closely tied to both Indigenous use and later European settlement. Traditionally part of the lands of the Jagera people, the area provided natural resources and bushland for thousands of years before European arrival 1. In the nineteenth century, sections of the land were owned and used by early settlers, including the Toohey family, whose name is preserved in the forest and nearby Mount Toohey 2. Over time, much of the surrounding land was cleared for farming and residential development, while the forested area was gradually set aside and preserved. Today, Toohey Forest remains an important natural reserve, reflecting both its Indigenous heritage and its role in Brisbane’s environmental conservation.
