1. Forest Reefs Tavern
2. Church at Forest Reefs
3. Old Shop
Back in its heyday as a gold town there were about 500 people at Forest Reefs but little remains today. The Sisters of St Joseph form Perthville formed a school here which operated until the 1960s. The Church of St Patrick and the convent next door are now privately owned. A little way along the road from the convent is another building that looks like it was an old shop, perhaps the post office which closed in 1974. There was a school that closed as recently as 1990. A hotel is still operating.

It looks like the bush might reclaim the land.
