The legacy of early settlement is still visible in the sturdy, stone fences that crisscross the paddocks and the weathered timber of older homesteads, each a silent marker of lives lived with fortitude. On a clear day, the expansive views from its higher points stretch towards the shimmering expanse of the ocean, a vista that has captivated generations.
