(b) a license to enter upon any protected forest to cut dig and take away forest produce.

It would take until 1975 for a licence to be issued for the 'cutting', 'digging', and 'taking away' of forest produce from Goolengook.

Section 29 (3) dealt with the control of forest produce from protected forest

All forest produce in protected forest shall, subject to any leases or licenses of any land therein granted under any Act relating to Crown lands, be under the control and management of the Department. In every other respect all Crown land within a protected forest shall be subject to the control of the Minister of Lands in accordance with the Lands Acts.

Section 30 (1) made it an offence to,

[F]ell girdle ringbark injure destroy or remove any growing tree or any timber in any protected forest without a permit in writing from the Minister of Forests or from some forest officer duly authorised by the said Minister to give such permits.

However, section 30 (2) allowed that

Nothing in this section shall prohibit any person in authorised occupation under lease or licence under the Land Acts of any area of protected forest from using in accordance with his lease or licence any timber which may be necessary for fencing such area or for domestic use of such person and the members of his household.

Section 33 stipulated that,

No regulation shall under this Act be made with regard to any protected forest except as to the growth preservation protection or distribution cutting or removal of forest produce.

The components of the Forests Act 1907 outlined here constitute a defining moment on the machinic phylum of becoming forest. The vegetation at Goolengook now has a juridical as opposed to rhetorical foundation ('dense scrub', and so on). This is not to say that the juridical production of Goolengook as forest brought about an immediate exploitation of its forest produce. Indeed, in contrast to the reserved and protected forests occurring closer to Melbourne such as the Central Highlands and the Otways, such forests within the County of Croajingolong (and by default those at Goolengook) remained predominantly free from commercial and domestic exploitation. This was the case despite the Forests Act 1907 handing the State Forests Department the authority to exploit both reserved and protected forest for various purposes. A passage from the Victorian Year Book of 1907-8 confirms the 'geographical limits' of such exploitation.

Of the State forest domain, some 3,000,000 acres are situated on the slopes of the high mountain ranges, and their protection is essential for the maintenance of stream and springs; over half a million acres are situated in the extreme Eastern part of the State, but, owing to difficulties of transport, are not at present accessible for practical working; half a million acres in the central district, which have been cut over, are closed for the protection of the young timber; while in the remaining area, over 600,000 acres, timber cutting is carried on in various parts. The bulk of the forest revenue is, however, derived
