With a 2021 census population of just 85 residents spread across 21 square kilometres, it is a quiet and sparsely settled farming community. The landscape is characterised by rolling green hills and sheltered valleys typical of the South Gippsland ranges, with properties predominantly used for mixed farming, beef cattle, and lifestyle acreage.

The region is known for its lush pastoral scenery, with the Strzelecki Ranges visible to the south. Residents typically rely on their own vehicles for everyday needs, with the larger centres of Korumburra and Leongatha accessible within 30 to 45 minutes for broader shopping, health services, and schools.
