Covering just over 24 square kilometres, the area had a population of 115 residents at the 2021 Census, reflecting its character as a quiet rural settlement rather than a township. The locality sits near Tinana Creek, contributing to a gentle, pastoral landscape typical of the region's hinterland between Maryborough and Gympie.
