Logarithm of the values in a Chi-square distribution

Hi,

I have a process that produces a nice Chi-square distribution, but now
I have to find out what happens to the distribution if I take the
logarithm of the values. From eye-balling the distribution it is more
or less a log-Gaussian distribution, but I like to derive it's
properties analytical. Any pointers where I may find this
information?
Thanks,

Dirkjan
