Geography


Although predominantly inland, the north-east boundary of the locality is the Coral Sea. The North Coast railway line passes through the locality from the east, past the town and exits the locality to the north. The town is served by the Yandaran railway station, while there are two other stations Littabella and Takoka serving the northern part of the locality.[4]
