History
The land was originally part of L V De Hamel Estate. The land was allocated (date unkown) to GEO T
Simpson MLA of Drakesbrook under conditional purchase lease 48/1390. On 14 September 1897 , the land was purchased back by the Government for consideration of 650 pounds and set apart as Reserve 4674 for the purpose of "Experimental Farm" via Government Gazette (GG), 7/10/1897. On 24 August 1899 Hamel Nursery was gazetted as Reserve 5174. IN the GG of 19/9/1902, Reserve 4674 was cancelled and a new Reserve 8380 created over the same area for the purpose of "Experimental Pine and Jarrah Plantation". On 7 January 1955, Reserves 5174 and 8380 were cancelled and the area set aside as part of State Forest 60. In addition to commercial timber trees, ornamental trees were also planted.
