A feature is the sculpture of the National and International Shearing champion, Kevin Sarre. The library contains books of local interest and families.

The complex is a community not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers. Groups of all sizes (from 10 people to over 100) buses and coaches are very welcome. Bookings are required for morning and afternoon teas, and lunches.
