Today it comprises nothing more than the railway station (where, each night, as regular as clockwork, a vast coal train from Leigh Creek heads south to Port Augusta), a few buildings which have been used as cheap backpacker accommodation and the very attractive, and recently modernised Parachilna hotel, known as the Prairie Hotel.
