About Hazelgrove

Hazelgrove is a small rural locality in the Oberon Council area of New South Wales, situated in the Central Tablelands approximately 12 kilometres south of the township of Oberon and around 48 kilometres from Bathurst. The locality sits at an elevation of around 1,100 metres above sea level, contributing to its cool, high-altitude climate and scenic pastoral landscapes.
