Mountain River (the watercourse) forms a part of the south-eastern boundary. Crabtree Rivulet rises in the north-west and flows through the locality to the south-east, where it empties into Mountain River.[3]
The C618 route (Crabtree Road) enters from the south-east and runs north-west for a short distance before it ends. Crabtree Road continues north-west with no route number. Route C645 (Cross Road) starts at an intersection with C618 and runs south-west until it exits.[2][4]
