We drove to Princetown town centre and realized it's such a small town.
A river estuary and wetlands is adjacent to the township, with reed beds on the western branch of the estuary containing significant bird and plant life. Princetown is bounded on two sides by national parks, with the Port Campbell National Park extending north-westerly and the Great Otway National Park to the south-east.
The town hosts a pub which doubles as a general store, a post office and some accommodation options.
At the 2006 census, Princetown district had a population of 459. Redrawing of the census lines reduced the figure in 2016 to 241 persons. Princetown Cricket Club is the sole surviving sporting club in the township, boasting about 30 members playing in the local South West Cricket Association. The current club was formed in 1968, but cricket had been played in Princetown as far back as 1886.
