Geography
The terrain is mountainous with White Mountain being the highest peak at 527 metres. As a consequence the locality is mostly undeveloped. The south-eastern part of the locality forms part of the Lockyer National Park.[3]
History
The locality was named and bounded on 18 February 2000.[2] It presumably takes its name from the mountain.
