The locality covers around 698 square kilometres of vast open scrubland, salt lakes, and mallee country. With a 2021 Census population of approximately 61 residents, it represents one of Australia's most sparsely populated localities.
Southern Cross, approximately 30 kilometres to the west, provides the nearest services including a general store, hotel, and fuel, while Kalgoorlie (roughly 200 kilometres to the east) is the main regional centre for the Goldfields. The locality sits on the Goldfields Highway corridor, historically a route for travellers and miners heading to the Eastern Goldfields. A private vehicle is the only practical means of transport.
