Little remains of the village. However, the Bugle Inn was a licensed establishment. The licence was first granted to Frederick Rumble in 1852,^[3] then Walton in 1853.^[4][5] In 1856 the licence was transferred to first, Robert Sleep.,^[6] then to William Kimber.^[7][8][9] The Inn appears to have only operated for a few years^[10] and was closed, remaining in use only as a landmark.^[11] Robert Sleep remained in the area until his death in 1898.^[12]

An annual Bugle Ranges ploughing match, held each year in September, was reported in the papers between 1853 and 1857 inclusive.^{[13][14][15][16][17]} During this time period, newspapers reported ploughing matches in many Adelaide Plains, Adelaide Hills and Fleurieu Peninsula centres.^[18]
