The Mackenzie River (the river) forms the northern and north-western boundary of the locality. Parker Creek forms part of the south-western boundary of the locality and then flows in a northerly direction through the locality to becomes a tributary of the Mackenzie River on the northern boundary ( 23°03′S149°12′E / 23.05°S 149.2°E / -23.05; 149.2 (Parker Creek (mouth)) ). [4] The south-eastern, southern and part of the south-western boundary of the locality roughly follows Return Creek ( 23°15′00″S149°10′00″E / 23.25°S 149.1666°E / -23.25; 149.1666 (Return Creek (mouth)) ), which is a tributary of Parker Creek.
