Geography
[edit]Bingegang is about 613 km away from Brisbane.[3]
The Mackenzie River (the river) forms the northern and north-western boundary of the locality. Parker Creek forms part of the south-western boundary of the locality and then flows in a northerly direction through the locality to becomes a tributary of the Mackenzie River on the northern boundary (23°03′S 149°12′E / 23.05°S 149.2°E).[4] The south-eastern, southern and part of the south-western boundary of the locality roughly follows Return Creek (23°15′00″S 149°10′00″E / 23.25°S 149.1666°E), which is a tributary of Parker Creek.[5][6]
The Fitzroy Developmental Road enters the locality from the south (Jellinbah) and exits to the north-west (the locality of Mackenzie River).[6]
Bingegang Weir (23°04′21″S 149°02′02″E / 23.0725°S 149.0338°E) impounds the Mackenzie River. It is reached via Bingegan Weir Access Road.[7]
The land use is predominantly grazing on native vegetation with some cropping in the north and south of the locality.[6]
