The historic Dhurringile mansion (now part of HM Prison Dhurringile) is located in the town. Dhurringile was the name of a 65 room mansion built in 1875 by James Winter, a wealthy squatter. The name is thought to have an Aboriginal origin meaning emu’s back, which the hill on which the mansion is built is said to resemble.
The town has a small primary school. In 2023 just three students were enrolled.[3]
