The heritage listed Lange Homestead is located within Millbrook. A homestead, originally called Tukurua then renamed to Greendale, was built in 1912 and 1913. It is one of the oldest stone buildings in the area. The property was purchased in 1929 by Friedrich Wilhelm Lange, who had previously been an early settler in the Wandering area; he renamed the property Greendale after his previous residence there. His son Benno Lange took over the property and was the chairman of the Albany Road Board and the president of the Albany Shire Council for 21 consecutive years. Lange was awarded the Order of Australia and sold the property in 1973.^[8]

The small river flowing through the locality, the Mill Brook, has a catchment area of 180 square kilometres (69 sq mi).^[9]
