It is situated by road, about 14 kilometres south of Batlow and 22 kilometres north of Tumbarumba. In the late 1800s, gold mining was being carried out at a location about 12 km south of Batlow on the Paddy's River. This location, named Quartzville, was home at one point to about 2000 people. A dam for the washing of alluvial gold and sluicing operations was constructed at the site. The population in the area extended into the Bago forest area and Laurel Hill came into being on the route taken by coaches from Adelong to Tumbarumba. [1]Bago Post Office opened on 10 June 1878, was renamed Laurel Hill in 1880 and closed in 1989.[2]The Miners Arms hotel at Laurel Hill was owned by the Waters family who held the licence until 1887, when it was taken over by Mr Dickson Currie. Mary Ann Waters took over the hotel as licensee in 1891 and Mr Currie built a new hotel for her in the early 1900s, as the old building had been condemned. The new hotel was located on the opposite side of the road to the original pub. Mr Jim Waters bought the new hotel in 1910 and operated it until 1928 when it was sold to a Mr Hayden. The hotel was later sold to Mr George King, who remodelled the building, altering the roof and enclosing the front verandah. Mr King later moved to Batlow and the hotel was taken over for a time by Mrs Latham, before she too moved to Batlow. The hotel building burned down in 1958 and was not replaced.[3] Laurel Hill Prison Farm was established in 1957. It was renamed the Leslie Nott Afforestation Camp in 1958 and then the Laurel Hill Forest Camp, under the direction of the Forestry Commission of New South Wales. It is now a privately owned conference centre.[4][5] ClimateThe climate here is subalpine, owing chiefly to its significant elevation and windward position. Snowfall is frequent from May to September, and often falls rather heavily. The region is subject to high winds year-round; either as a result of thunderstorms in the warmer months, or snowstorms in the cooler months. Climate data is sourced from Pilot Hill, which lies at 1,128 m AMSL—357 m higher than Batlow. {{Weather box|location = Bago State Forest, NSW (Pilot Hill); 1,128 m AMSL; 35° 37' 07.32" S |metric first = yes |single line = yes |precipitation colour = green |Jan high C = 23.5 |Feb high C = 23.3 |Mar high C = 20.7 |Apr high C = 15.3 |May high C = 11.1 |Jun high C = 7.8 |Jul high C = 6.6 |Aug high C = 7.9 |Sep high C = 11.5 |Oct high C = 14.8 |Nov high C = 18.4 |Dec high C = 22.0 |year high C = |Jan low C = 9.7 |Feb low C = 10.3 |Mar low C = 8.3 |Apr low C = 4.5 |May low C = 1.5 |Jun low C = -0.4 |Jul low C = -1.4 |Aug low C = -0.7 |Sep low C = 1.3 |Oct low C = 3.3 |Nov low C = 6.1 |Dec low C = 8.3 |year low C = |Jan precipitation mm = 74.1 |Feb precipitation mm = 75.5 |Mar precipitation mm = 100.8 |Apr precipitation mm = 102.0 |May precipitation mm = 124.1 |Jun precipitation mm = 166.7 |Jul precipitation mm = 171.3 |Aug precipitation mm = 158.1 |Sep precipitation mm = 131.0 |Oct precipitation mm = 132.5 |Nov precipitation mm = 97.4 |Dec precipitation mm = 80.0 |year precipitation mm = |Jan precipitation days = 6.1 |Feb precipitation days = 5.7 |Mar precipitation days = 6.7 |Apr precipitation days = 6.6 |May precipitation days = 8.0 |Jun precipitation days = 12.4 |Jul precipitation days = 11.7 |Aug precipitation days = 13.9 |Sep precipitation days = 11.9 |Oct precipitation days = 10.5 |Nov precipitation days = 7.7 |Dec precipitation days = 7.3 |year precipitation days mm = |source 1 = Bureau of Meteorology; Bago State Forest (Pilot Hill), NSW }} Notes and references1. ^{{cite book|last=Batlow Historical Society|title=BATLOW, The growing years from gold to apples|year=1975|publisher=Horwitz Publications|location=Cammeray, NSW, 2062|isbn=0-7255-0310-6|pages=36}} {{commons category}}{{Riverina}}2. ^{{Cite web | last = Premier Postal History | title = Post Office List | url = https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=NSW&country= | accessdate = 2009-06-11 }} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Cash|first=Peter and Jenny|title=Batlow and District in pictures|year=1984|publisher=Wilkie Watson Publications P/L|location=Tumut NSW|isbn=0-9590314-0-5|pages=18, 19}} 4. ^{{cite web|year=2006 |url=http://www.laurelhillforestlodge.com.au/history.htm |title=History: Laurel Hill Forest Lodge |work= |publisher=Laurel Hill Forest Lodge |accessdate=2007-01-30 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060820110522/http://laurelhillforestlodge.com.au/history.htm |archivedate=2006-08-20 |deadurl=yes |df= }} 5. ^{{cite web | last = Ramsland | first = John | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = 2005 | url = http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/AS10376b.htm | title = Nott, Leslie Cecil Joshua (1895 - 1963) | work = | publisher = Australian Dictionary of Biography | accessdate = 2007-01-30}} 2 : Towns in the Riverina|Towns in New South Wales |
