 A once prosperous little town, with pubs, a butter factory, school, church and post office was burnt to ashes, and that brought an end to its prosperity.Still widely known as one of the best wool growing areas in Victoria, it also is home to some of Australia's best shearers.Wool growing families that keep this reputation as good as it is, are the Bartys, the Collisons, the Davises, the Barkers and the Bickfords.
