Geography

The Condamine Kogan Road traverses the locality from south-east (Hopeland / Montrose) to south-west (Nangram /Wieambilla). The Chinchilla Tara Road traverses the locality from north (Greenswamp) to south (Wieambilla).[3] These two roads intersect in roughly the centre of the locality and presumably provide the name for the locality.[3]
