Hoo-Hoo Lookout
Hoo-Hoo is a service club to the forest industries
This lookout was first erected in 1966. It was extensively remodelled in 1993 with materials provided by CSR softwoods and woods and forest and labour provided by the City of Mount Gambier
The lookout overlooks the site of the first Radiata Pine nursery and the original head quarters of the Mount Gambier Forest District. These were established in the Leg of Mutton Lake Crater in 1876
This lookout commemorates the efforts of those pioneer foresters who created a plantation forest based industry which has now become an enterprise of international importance
