Geography

The northern and eastern boundary roughly follows the Great Dividing Range. The range separates the Murray-Darling drainage basin (including this location) from the Australian north-east coast drainage division which flows into the Coral Sea. [2] Part of the southern boundary is marked by Kings Creek, a tributary of the Condamine River. [2]

The Gatton–Clifton Road runs through from north to south, and the Greenmount-Hirstvale Road enters from the west. [4]

The land use is a mixture of grazing on native vegetation and crop growing. [2]
