 Improved road transport links finally ended both the dairy and the rail link in the 1970s (with dairy processing operations now concentrated in Tangambalanga, about to the west).The most distinctive aspect of the town's history is that it was moved to the west in the 1950s to a site known as Bolga to allow for the expansion of Lake Hume.Stories of the transition from old town to new town were captured in the 1988 book "Slates and Suet Puddings" by Carmyl Winkler.
