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