Description

The area was first settled by Andy Roland who walked across the Nullarbor to seek his fortune. Now the area is mainly dominated by sheep, cattle and timber and lupin production.

The Aboriginal name for the area is 'Chullurup' which translates as 'place of white ant nests'.

The local school dates from 1951 (the same year the townsite was gazetted) when is was only a one room classroom. Today the town has grown slightly but is still quite small compared with most others.
