Geography[edit]
The locality is a long north-south the valley formed around Cainbable Creek, which rises in O'Reilly to the south and then flows north through Cainbable exiting to the north (Nindooinbah) where it becomes a tributary of the Albert River.[3]

A small area in the south of the locality forms part of the Lamington National Park which extends through neighbouring O'Reilly and Sarabah and areas beyond. Apart from the protected area, the land use is almost entirely grazing on native vegetation with small areas of irrigated pastures and irrigated crop growing in the north of the locality around the creek.[3]
