A short time into the trial, before the prosecution could complete their case, there was a dramatic turn of events when the jury indicated they did not wish to continue, as 'the evidence was not good enough to convict the accused'.

Community Education, church hall and sport The village has a small one-teacher primary school, Wyangala Dam Public School, located on Waugoola Rd.

Not far from the school, also on Waugoola Rd, there is a Catholic church, St Vincent's, which serves as a community hall for village activities, in addition to providing mass services on Saturdays and Sundays.
