Geography
The Southern railway enters the suburb from the north (Hendon) and exits to the south (Massie). The Warwick Allora Road also enters the locality from the north (Hendon, but to the east of the railway) and exits to the south (Massie, adjacent to the railway).[3]
The land use is a mix of grazing on native vegetation and crop growing. The crops are mostly grown in the east of the locality.[3]
