The Nogoa River forms the northern boundary of the locality. The Dawson Developmental Road passes through it from north-east (Cona Creek) to south-west (Mantuan Downs). The northern and south-western parts of the locality are flatter, approximately 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level, and are used primarily for cattle grazing. The other parts are more mountainous rising to unnamed peaks of approximately 400 metres (1,300 ft) above sea level; this land is currently undeveloped, with the majority of it being within the Squire State Forest and Nandowrie State Forest. [3]
The origin of the name Nandowrie may be the Nandowrie Lagoon on the road from Springsure to Tambo. [4]

It is a one-teacher school with students drawn from local cattle properties. [6] In 2018, it had no students, the numbers having dwindled from 6 in 2015 and 4 in 2017. However, there were pre-school children in the district who were likely to attend the school in future years, so the school was only closed temporarily. [10] As at 2022, the school has no students and is officially "open" but "not currently operational". [11]
There is no secondary schooling in the locality. Secondary schooling to Year 10 is available in Springsure; secondary schooling to Year 12 is available in Emerald. [3]
