A Post Office opened on 15 July 1912 when a regular mail service was provided by the opening of the railway line from Ouyen to Murrayville a month earlier. The office closed in 1980.[3] A primary school, Tutye State School, was officially opened in 1920, although it had been in operation since 1914.[4][5] It no longer exists.
