Legerwood, Tasmania

[8] On 15 October 1918, twenty-five trees were planted along the Railway Reserve at Ringarooma Road in memoriam of the village's fallen soldiers following the end of the Great War.

Determined to retain the memorial, in 2004 the Legerwood Hall and Reserves Committee commissioned chainsaw sculptor Eddie Freeman to carve a series of sculptures on the dying trunks based on the lives of the people they represented in remembrance.

Extensive historical research into the lives of the fallen soldiers and their families ensured the carvings depicted stories of the men they represented as accurately as possible.

[14] In 2022, the former 1950s butter factory at Legerwood was purchased for $1.6 million by Sydney-based Alibaba Agriculture and the data processing start-up Grasschain, who re-configured the site for blockchain mining.

Route C423 (Carisbrook Lane / Main Street / Ringarooma Road) starts at an intersection with A3 and runs south to the town and then south-east before exiting.
