The Bruce Highway enters the locality from the south-west (Gumlu) and forms the western boundary of the locality, exiting to the north (Fredericksfield / Inkerman).[3] The North Coast railway line runs immediately parallel and west of the highway with the locality served by:[3]
- Inkerman railway station in the north-east of the locality (19°45′07″S 147°29′31″E / 19.7519°S 147.4919°E)[4][5]
- Koberinga railway station (now abandoned, 19°47′40″S 147°31′51″E / 19.7944°S 147.5308°E)[6]
The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some crop growing (mostly sugarcane near the highway).[7]
