Westvale is a rural locality in the Somerset Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Westvale had "no people or a very low population".[1]
The locality is bounded on the west by Lake Somerset, the impoundment created on the Stanley River by the Somerset Dam. The creeks in the locality all contribute to the Stanley River.[3]
The terrain is quite mountainous, rising from 100 metres (330 ft) above sea level at the lake to a number of unnamed peaks rising to 420 metres (1,380 ft). Some of the southern part of the locality is within the D'Aguilar National Park (which extends into neighbouring Mount Archer and Mount Bryon.[3]
Apart from the national park, the predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[3]
