 It claimed to be the smallest town on the West Coast, with a population of two, though this was larger in past times when it was a saw-milling settlement.Timber was cut in the area from the early 1950s until the mid-1980s, and the town had been re-established as a tourist centre for a limited time, with a Bushman's Centre, pub, and accommodation.While the pub and the Bushman's Centre are closed as of 2020, accommodation facilities remain.
