The property is situated approximately 201 kilometres (125 mi) east of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory and 226 kilometres (140 mi) west of Camooweal in Queensland. Located on the Barkly Tableland a portion of the Playford River flows also through the station as does a portion of Buchanan Creek. It shares a boundary with Brunette Downs Station to the north, Rockhampton Downs to the west, Dalmore Downs to the south and Alexandria Station to the east. The Tablelands Highway bisects the property.

The landscape consists of clay plains of various origins that support stands of Mitchell and other annual grasses. The southern areas are more lateritic in origin with the red coloured earth of the outback. Drainage areas, Coolibah swampland and areas of bluebush are found in the north of the property.
