Heyfield - Victorian Timber Workers Memorial

Victorian Timber Workers Memorial is a permanent state memorial to Victoria's timber workers that has been built in Heyfield. It is a place where families who have suffered a loss may have their loved ones commemorated and join with others in remembrance and reflection.

The memorial is in the Lions Park Heyfield with the names of those fatally injured on a plaque within stone pillars as you walk around the memorial. Those eligible for these plaques must have worked within Victoria and lost their lives whilst working in the timber industry either in the bush, coupe, mill or cartage.

A public art sculpture is the centre piece of the memorial, which is surrounded by 75 mature yellow bark trees, connecting paths, low stone walls and seating. Nearby is a Garden of Reflection
