West Woombye is in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. As the name suggests, it is west of the town and locality of Woombye. The surrounding suburbs include Towen Mountain, Hunchy, Dulong, Palmwoods and Coes Creek.[3] There is farming within the area with crops such as lychees, macadamias, mangoes and avocados grown.[citation needed]
The main road running through West Woombye is Blackall Range Road. This road turns into Dulong Road once in the suburb of Dulong. As the area incorporates the Blackall Range leading up to Montville, the area is noted for its scenery. However, there are a number of notable creeks within area prone to flooding in heavy rain, primarily Petrie Creek. This mostly affects the roads off Blackall Range Road, such as Ruwoldt Road, Carruthers Road, and the Jackson Road area.[citation needed]
