The ridge of the Great Dividing Range runs from north to south through Conjuboy creating a watershed.

Spring Creek rises in the north-west of the locality and flows into the Einasleigh River and ultimately into the Gilbert River into the Gulf of Carpentaria.[3]

The predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[3]

History

The locality was officially named and bounded on 23 June 2000; however the name has been in use as a pastoral station since at least 1934 when it was operated by Arthur Darcy Wilson.[2][4]
