The hall was used for many things including: Line Dancing, Ping Pong and Gatherings.

The Hall was re-built three times.

The hall first burnt down in 1900

In 1897 it was decided to build a church. In February 1898 people were asked to find a suitable site. Money was promised and plans were made, 30 feet by 20 feet, the foundation was laid in 1899.

The Church by the old shop was a Methodist church that is now a home.

Every ANZAC Day people gather outside the cenotaph for an ANZAC service to remember the ones who have died in the wars.

It was built in 1921

There were 7 shops like Grocers, saddler shop, post office, coach builder and a garage.
