It lies 13.2 km north-west of Adelaide, SA (from Adelaide, SA: bearing 310°T), and is situated 13.3 km west-south-west of Parafield Gardens.

Wide verges, often dotted with hardy native shrubs and the occasional resilient gum tree, give the place a sense of breathing room, a generous expanse between the houses and the workshops. The terrain is largely flat, a gentle gradient towards the coast, and the sky overhead feels immense, a vast canvas for the passing clouds.
This is a place with its roots firmly planted in the practicalities of trade and transport.
