Geography edit

The Dee River forms the eastern boundary of the locality. The terrain is mountainous with named peaks of Mount Victoria (23°39′45″S 150°21′22″E / 23.66238°S 150.35598°E / -23.66238; 150.35598 (Mount Victoria)) at 420 metres (1,380 ft) and Mount Battery (23°40′12″S 150°20′15″E / 23.6699°S 150.3374°E / -23.6699; 150.3374 (Mount Battery)) at 483 metres (1,585 ft). The land is mostly undeveloped.[4][5][6][7]

The watercourse Boulder Creek (after which the locality is presumably named) rises in the north of the locality and flows to the south-east of the locality where it becomes a tributary to the Dee River within the North East Coast drainage basin.[4]

The Mount Victoria gold field is located within the locality at 23°39′14″S 150°20′10″E / 23.654°S 150.336°E / -23.654; 150.336 (Mount Victoria gold field). There is a current mining lease for the site.[4]
