Soldier Settlement Memorial StonePrint Page 
The Memorial Stone commemorates 51 returned soldiers from the First World War who were allocated land in Hazelwood to develop dairy farms . The monument, a stone and plaque, was erected by the Morwell Yinnar and Boolara Members of the Returned Services League of Australia and the Morwell Shire Council.
Around 1922, the Macmillan family sold Macmillan Estate at Hazelwood for World War I soldier settlement. The land then became known as Hazelwood Estate and was divided into 45 farming allotments by the Closer Settlement Board. Some of these allotments were allocated to returned soldiers who had fought at Gallipoli.
