Essentially, the Joyner area may be considered one of the numerous sub-catchments of the North Pine River drainage basin.

Of the people 92% spoke only English at home; the next most common languages were Afrikaans (0.8%), Hindi (0.4%), Spanish (0.4%), Samoan, and Italian (0.3%).

[9] Forgan Road which runs along the eastern shore of Lake Samsonvale, gives access to popular fishing and picnic spots making the area a valuable recreational resource for locals and visitors.

Important centres for recreational activities exist at Bullocky Rest and also at Forgan Cove, near the intersection with Samsonvale Road.

[11][12] One Mile Creek more or less bisects Joyner south-west to north-east and enters the North Pine River south of Nelson Road.

[14] At the confluence of North Pine River and Sideling Creek off Youngs Crossing Road, a large sand bank forms the basis for a popular swimming and fishing area.
