Today, the local economy thrives on a blend of agriculture, with dairy farms and grazing properties dotting the verdant paddocks, and a growing tourism sector drawn to the natural beauty and the proximity to the coast. The nearby Hastings River, a constant presence, whispers tales of its own, shaping the land and providing a vital artery for both nature and human endeavour. The subtle glow of the sky at dusk, bleeding from soft orange to deep indigo, is a constant reminder of the timeless connection between this place and the vast Australian sky.
