The town of Boddington is also notable for its large gold and copper mine — one of Australia's largest open-cut gold mines — which supports employment across the wider region. Residents enjoy the peaceful rural lifestyle, with the Murray River valley and Hotham Valley Railway tourist line within easy reach for weekend recreation. The broader region is also popular for wildflower tourism in spring.
