Geography

The locality is bounded to the west by the Sarabah Range and to the east by the Darlington Range with a valley in-betweeen. Canungra Creek enters the locality from the south (O'Reilly) and forms part of the south-eastern boundary before flowing north through the valley and exiting to the north (Canungra). [4] The elevations range from 150 to 700 metres (490 to 2,300 ft) above sea level. [5]

A section of Lamington National Park is in the south-west of the locality. Apart from this protected area, the land use of the locality is predominantly grazing on native vegetation. [5]

There are two roads through the locality. Lamington National Park Road enters the locality from the north (Canungra) and loosely follows the western boundary of the locality (the Sarabah Range) before entering the locality's section of Lamington National Park, from which the road exits to the south-west (Cainbable). The other road, Sarabah Road, also enters from Canungra and travels along the valley floor (crossing the creek from time to time) providing access to the homes and farms, before exiting to the south-east (Illinbah). [5]
