It is home to a state primary school and small hamlet settlement, connected to Cudlee Creek.

The original township within the valley was demolished to make way for the Millbrook Reservoir.

The Milbrook Primary School was destroyed as part of the Ash Wednesday fires in 1983.

These people moved into the Cudlee Creek area when the reservoir works began in 1914.

[2] The former township of Chain of Ponds was removed due to the possible reservoir's impact upon the settlement.
