Forrest's legacy
Forrest's legacy can be found in the Western Australian landscape, with many places named by him, or after him. These include:
- the small settlement of Forrest on the Trans-Australian Railway;
- Glen Forrest;
- Forrestdale;
- John Forrest National Park;
- Forrest Chase;
- Forrestfield and
- John Forrest Senior High School in Morley.
In addition, the suburb of Forrest, Australian Capital Territory is named after Forrest, as one of the many suburbs of Canberra named after Australia's first federal politicians. The Forrest Highway, opened in September 2009, was named after him. The Eyre Highway was first known as the Forrest Highway when it was first established as an unsealed road in 1942.
John Forrest is one of many railroad builders featured as a possible computer-controlled competitor in in the simulation game Railroad Tycoon 3.
On 28 November 1949 the Australian post office issued a commemorative stamp that featured John Forrest.
