Little remains of the village, however the Bugle Inn was a licensed establishment. The licence was first granted to Frederick Rumble in 1852,[2] then Walton in 1853.[3][4] In 1856 the licence was transferred to first, Robert Sleep.,[5] then to William Kimber.[6][7][8] The Inn appears to have only operated for a few years[9] and was closed, remaining in use only as a landmark.[10] Robert Sleep remained in the area until his death in 1898.[11]

An annual Bugle Ranges ploughing match, held each year in September, was reported in the papers between 1853 and 1857 inclusive.[12][13][14][15][16] During this time period, newspapers reported ploughing matches in many Adelaide Plains, Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula centres.[17]
