Download coordinates as: Eungella is a rural town and locality in the Mackay Region, Queensland, Australia.
The southern branch of Cattle Creek forms on this escarpment and creates the fertile valley to the east, where it becomes a tributary of the Pioneer River in Mirani, which eventually flows into the Coral Sea at Mackay.

Access to the area was by a pack horse track or by a road via Nebo and Mount Britton.
