Geography

Haddon Corner is the point of Queensland's southern and western border with South Australia ( 26°00′00″S141°00′00″E / 26.0000°S 141.0000°E / -26.0000; 141.0000 (Haddon Corner) ). [3] It is in the south-west of the locality. [4]

Lake Yamma Yamma (also known as Lake Mackillop) is in the centre of the locality ( 26°20′00″S141°25′00″E / 26.3333°S 141.4166°E / -26.3333; 141.4166 (Lake Yamma Yamma) ). [5] It is 736 square kilometres (284 sq mi) and is ephemeral, [4] holding water only when Cooper Creek floods. It rarely fills (about every 25 to 30 years). It is Queensland's largest ephemeral lake.

The Birdsville Developmental Road enters the locality from the north (Farrars Creek), passes through the north of the locality, and exits to the north-west (Birdsville). Arrabury Road branches off from the Birdsville Developmental Road shortly after it enters the locality and then proceeds south-west and then south into Durham (remaining west of Lake Yamma Yamma). [4]

The land use is grazing on native vegetation. [4]
