Geography
Norley was part of the Channel Country, a network of interconnecting creeks and rivers that are normally dry except during seasonal flooding. The land was used for low density cattle grazing.
The Bundeena Road entered the locality from the west and exited to the south to neighbouring Thargomindah. The Quilpie Thargomindah Road entered the locality from the north-east and exited to the south to Thargomindah.[6]
History
The locality of Norley took its name from its county and parish of the same name. The county name takes its name in turn from the Norley pastoral station.[7]
In the 2016 census, Norley had "no people or a very low population".[1]
