Covering around 123 square kilometres, it recorded a 2021 Census population of 58 residents. The locality falls within the broader Ipswich region and is characterised by a mix of bushland, rural properties, and rural residential acreage typical of the outer Brisbane commuter belt.

The Somerset Dam and Lake Wivenhoe are nearby, providing popular fishing, camping, and boating destinations. Growing rural residential development in the wider Ipswich hinterland means the area is increasingly popular with families seeking affordable acreage.
