Most of the heritage buildings are over 100 years old with many built of bluestone gathered in the surrounding areas.
Large parts of the village are in an ecological zone, and so the area teams with all manner of native and introduced animal and bird life. There are areas of crown land throughout where locals and visitors can wander and observe this diversity.
Community markets are held in May and November in the village, providing a festive atmosphere to the village common, known as the Tony Young Memorial Park.
