Farming operations in the area are primarily focused on dryland cropping and grazing across large properties. Residents travel to the Riverland towns of Loxton or Pinnaroo for shopping, medical services, and schooling. The area is popular with those who value solitude, wide-open spaces, and the rhythms of rural life in one of South Australia's more remote corners.
