It is located to the south of the Australian Capital Territory and to the south-east of Queanbeyan.
The original northern and eastern boundary was the Molonglo River; this is still the boundary for most of the parish, except in the north, where the relatively small area north of the Queanbeyan-Goulburn railway line (at 35°19′42″S 149°17′45″E / 35.32833°S 149.29583°E / -35.32833; 149.29583 ) was transferred to the ACT in 1909.
The south-western boundary is the Queanbeyan River.
The area also roughly aligns with the locality of Carwoola.
