The Proserpine River forms the western, southern and south-eastern boundary of the locality with Myrtle Creek forming the northern and north-eastern boundary. The land is flat and low-lying (approximately 10 metres above sea level). It is entirely freehold land used for cropping, predominantly sugarcane. [3]

The Proserpine–Shute Harbour Road (State Route 59) starts at an intersection with the Bruce Highway and runs north and then east through the locality. [4]
