The town is in the Shire of Campaspe local government area and on the Murray Valley Highway, 241 kilometres (150 mi) north of the state capital, Melbourne.

The town still houses a hotel, a hall, a general store and a post office.

[2] The town is home to an important weir situated on the Murray River, a few kilometres north of the township.

After numerous unsuccessful repairs, it was decided the weir would be rebuilt with a new design that was completed during 1996.

[3] A post office was built at the weir in 1919 but closed 5 years later due to the fact it was rarely used.
