[7][8] The state forest is 2,894 hectares (7,150 acres) and extends into the neighbouring localities of Gregors Creek to the north-west and Fulham to the west.

[10][11][3] In the 1920s, a 300-metre tramway was constructed in Hazeldean to move timber down a steep descent from mountain top to bottom.

[12] As parts of Hazeldean would be flooded following the completion of the Somerset Dam across the Stanley River, in 1951, it was necessary to plan for road re-alignments.
