With a population of 152 residents at the 2021 Census, the locality covers a substantial 309 square kilometres of grazing and farming country. The median household income sits below regional averages, reflecting the predominantly pastoral nature of the local economy.

Situated between Glen Innes and Deepwater along one of New South Wales' great inland highways, the hamlet is surrounded by sheep and cattle grazing properties. An annual Bushmans Carnival celebrates the area's rural heritage and draws visitors from across the New England region.
