It is located in a wheat growing area begun by soldier settlers after World War I. A post office opened on 15 April 1921,[2] a month after the railway line towards Robinvale began operations. The station was closed to passengers in February 1978, and the line was closed in January 2008.[3]
A strain of wheat suitable for the area is named Annuello.[4]
A 'back to Annuello' weekend was held for ex residents in September 2022.Homage-to-hardship:-ghost-town-reunion-
