Like many other coastal towns on the peninsula, it has a jetty and used to be a thriving port for the export of grain to England.

Household goods for the early settlers in the town and surrounding farmlands were brought by steamers from Port Adelaide and stored in the cargo shed until the settlers’ homes were completed.
