With a population of around 306 residents spread across 22 square kilometres, it has a distinctly rural character defined by rolling hills, farmland, and rainforest remnants.

The locality sits just minutes from Ballina and the Pacific Highway, giving access to shopping, schools, and health services in town while retaining its peaceful semi-rural identity. It attracts lifestyle-seekers, hobby farmers, and families who want elbow room close to the Northern Rivers' beaches and communities.
