The area’s past is etched in the weathered timber of old farm sheds and the faint tracks that crisscross the hills, remnants of a time when grazing was king. While larger-scale mining operations have largely passed, the echoes of those endeavours can still be felt in the occasional glint of quartz in a creek bed. Today, the local economy still hums with the quiet industry of sheep farming, supplemented by a growing appreciation for the region's natural beauty, drawing visitors who seek the solace of wide-open spaces and the crisp, clean air that defines Craigie.
