With a population of 95 recorded in the 2021 Census, the locality covers approximately 24 square kilometres of predominantly agricultural land. The area is characterised by gently undulating farmland along Oakey Creek, a tributary of the Condamine River, and has a history rooted in dairy farming and cropping.
Boodua's landscape is defined by its fertile agricultural land, with crop growing and cattle grazing forming the backbone of the local economy. The locality has historical significance, with the Darling Downs Co-operative Dairy Association having operated a cheese factory here between 1926 and 1950. Residents access services in nearby Oakey, approximately 10 kilometres to the south-west, or the larger centre of Toowoomba for shopping, schools and medical facilities. The quiet, rural setting appeals to those seeking a farming lifestyle on the productive Darling Downs.
