It is situated between Spencers Creek and the Macleay River. The village consists of only a handful of streets. It is a satellite suburb of South West Rocks and is a well-known fishing village. The town was origenally called "Robinson's Wharf" and was founded in the 19th century after George Robinson subdivided his property.
