The locality name is believed to be an Aboriginal word meaning ‘sigh’. It was gazetted in 1966.[2]

Geography

The Inglis River flows through from south-east to north-east, and then forms part of the northern boundary. The Jessie River forms the north-western boundary as it flows toward its junction with the Inglis.[3]

Road infrastructure

The C236 route (Takone Road) enters from the north-east and runs through to the south-west before exiting. Route C237 (Oldina Road) starts at an intersection with Route C236 and runs north before exiting.[4]
