The locality covers about 40 square kilometres and recorded a population of 646 at the 2021 census, making it a modestly sized semi-rural community in the fertile Lockyer Valley corridor between Ipswich and Gatton. It lies 14.5 kilometres north-east of Laidley and is surrounded by farming land typical of the valley's productive agricultural character.
