The locality consists of the following land (from north to south):[9][11]

The locality's boundaries and name were gazetted on 4 April 2007. Its name is derived from the Delamere Station and ultimately from the name of the South Australian home of Dr WJ Browne, a former leaseholder.[1]
The Victoria Highway passes through the locality from the Stuart Highway in the east to the Western Australian border in the west. The Buntine Highway passes through the locality from the south and terminates at the Victoria Highway near the Willeroo homestead.[11][10]
The Delamere Air Weapons Range occupies land in the locality's south-east corner on the east side of the Buntine Highway.[12] The following aboriginal communities are located within Delamere – Djarrung which is located on Scott Creek Station in the locality's north and Dillinya which is located in NT Portion 2119 in the locality's south-east.[13][14][15]
