The roads mostly are without footpaths, and are tree-lined. The 100 acres north of Petty's orchards was kept as natural bush land and named The 100 Acres. It has walking tracks and four dams. The absence of footpaths is partly accounted for by a taste for bushland, and also by the distances created by large allotments. Cars are accommodated on ample off-street parking space, and the area is served by a solitary bus service.
Houses range from ordinary weatherboard to spacious split-level.
The local shopping area is functional and unadorned. Nearby are a reserve, the chalet, a community house and the school. The Catholic church is near another reserve and The 100 Acres.
