Buxton is a small village about 30 kilometres south of Picton on the 'Old Loop Line' Railway.
Buxton has a small shopping centre (the largest between Thirlmere and Mittagong), and a large population tucked away in country streets and lanes in many modern houses whose occupants commute to work as far away as the city.
Dense native bushland still surrounds the village today, giving it a timeless and even often foreboding appearance.
Boldrewood ('Robbery Under Arms') had his fictitious bushranger Captain Starlight hiding in the area in the mid nineteenth century after breaking out of Berrima gaol - his character partly based on the many bushrangers who infested the 'Bargo Brush', of which Buxton was a part.
There are plenty of walking trails in nearby Thirlmere Lakes National Park where you can today enjoy the unspoilt beauty, and extended trails lead into Nattai Wilderness ('Starlight's Trail') just west of Hilltop.
