Geography

The Landsborough Highway passes through the locality from north (Patrick) to south (Blackall). [6]

The watercourse Home Creek (from which the locality presumably takes its name) rises in Evora to the south-east and then flows through the locality of Home Creek from the south-east to the west (Barcaldine Downs) where it becomes a tributary to the Alice River. [6]

The principal land use is grazing on native vegetation. [6]
