Geography

The locality is loosely bounded to the west, south-west, south, south-east and east by the Walter Hill Range. [2]

There is considerable difference in the elevation within the locality from 380 metres (1,250 ft) in the ranges in the south through to 10 metres (33 ft) in the north of the locality. Consequently, numerous creeks rise in the ranges in the south and flow through the central valley towards the north of the locality. [2]

The higher more mountainous land in the south is undeveloped. Some grazing on native vegetation occurs in the lower slopes in the south of the locality. In the low-lying north of the locality, the land use is predominantly growing sugarcane. [2]
