Residents embrace weekend hikes, motorcycle cruises, and wildlife spotting as core activities, but accept that power outages, bushfire seasons, and a near-total dependence on a car are part of the deal. The town centre has grown noticeably over the past decade, yet the hills community ethos remains strong and protective of the surrounding landscape.
