Geography
The Central Western railway line and, to its immediate south, the Capricorn Highway form the southern boundary of the locality.[3]
The Great Dividing Range passes through the south-west of the locality. Therefore most of the locality is within the North East Coast drainage basin. Therefore the creeks within the locality are tributaries evenutally of the Burdekin River which empties into the Coral Sea at Rita Island in the Shire of Burdekin.[3]
The principal land use is grazing on native vegetation.[3]
History
The origin of the locality name is unclear but it is likely be taken from the Hobartville pastoral run operated by Mr Holland in 1885.[4]
