The locality is bounded by an unnamed creek to the north, Yaamba Road to the east, Ramsay Creek to the south-east, and the Fitzroy River to the south-west and west.

Originally, there was only one entry to the estate via Neilsens Avenue, leading to Emmerson Drive (named after "The Morning Bulletin" cartoonist Rod Emmerson) and Swadling Avenue. Blocks of land were approximately 2 acres, and addresses consisted of Lot numbers. Expansion saw the addition of more streets, and a second entrance via Terranova Drive. Newer lots sold were only 1 acre in size, and lots were assigned street numbers. The postcode was originally 4702, but is now 4711 after being recognised as an official locality.
