Local folklore speaks of a quiet determination among its inhabitants, a character forged in the resilience required to coax a living from this often unforgiving, yet beautiful, country. The nearby ranges offer a sense of ancient permanence, a backdrop against which the life of Nuggetty unfolds with a measured, unhurried pace.
