The name, with various spellings, has been used for the area since 1853. Selbourne was gazetted as a locality in 1968.[2]
The Meander River forms most of the southern and south-eastern boundaries.[3]
The C735 route (Selbourne Road) starts at an intersection with B72 (Birralee Road) on the western boundary and runs through to the south-east, where it exits.[2][4]
