The upper middle class suburb is mainly residential and contains many fine homes, and a number of historic mansions: "Willyama", (the Aboriginal name for Broken Hill), at 12 The Avenue was named so by Charles Rasp, the boundary rider who pegged a mining claim that became Broken Hill, after he bought it in 1887 from Oscar Görger, a local doctor/surgeon; "The Briars" at 15 Briar Avenue, built for George Hawker in 1856, is now the McBride Hospital; and there are many fine houses along Robe Terrace.
In 1884 the Brown sisters established The Wilderness School, a private school for girls. The school moved to Northcote Terrace in 1885, to its current location on Northcote Terrace in 1893, and acquired its current name in 1918.
