The small town is considered a main gateway to the
Barrington Tops National Park. Its population in 361 and until 2016 was the main tourist attraction in the
Gloucester Shire. The town is also home to a range of heritage structures including the historic Barrington River Bridge, Barrington River Cottage, the pioneer cemetery, and the Barrington Public School (c. 1910).[2]
