By 1864 it was estimated that the property was carrying about 80,000 sheep worth over £40,000. Planting trees on the run commenced under William Murray in 1876, the beginning of forestry in both South Australia and Australia as a whole. Trees from Europe, North America were tested for local conditions with ''Pinus radiata'' being found to the most suitable and one of the fastest growing. The forest is a mix of native and exotic trees, timber is still taken from the reserve and replanting is completed annually. A bushfire closed the southern end of the reserve near Curnow's hut in 2013. The North Bundaleer homestead was constructed in 1898, it was later acquired by the state government in 1911.
