Geography

The Nogoa River forms the northern boundary of the locality. The Dawson Developmental Road passes through the locality from north-east to south-west.The northern and south-western parts of the locality are flatter land (approx 300 metres above sea level) and are used for cattle grazing. The other parts of the locality are more mountainous rising to unnamed peaks of approximately 400 metres above sea level; this land is currently undeveloped with the majority of it within the Squire and Nandowrie State Forests.[2]
