Geography

The Bruce Highway touches the south-west boundary of North Isis (but does not enter it). At this point, the Isis Highway splits off and passes through the south-west corner of the locality and then forms the western boundary of the locality.[2]

The locality is predominantly used for farming, mostly of sugarcane. There is a network of cane tramways in the locality.[2]
