With a 2021 Census population of around 106 residents, it is a thinly settled agricultural district where sheep and beef grazing dominate the landscape. The locality sits within the South-West Coast electorate, a region characterised by vast open paddocks, volcanic plains, and scattered farm homesteads.

There are no urban services within the locality itself; residents travel to Caramut, Mortlake, or Terang for groceries and essential services. The community is tight-knit in the tradition of the Western District farming belt, and the area is known for its productive pastures and strong agricultural heritage. The locality appeals to those seeking a genuine rural lifestyle in one of Victoria's quietest corners.
