The river's confluence with tributary Splityard Creek occurs in the centre of the district. The Warwick-Allora Road passes through the locality from the south-east to the north-west forming part of the south-east and north-west boundaries of the locality. The Southern railway line runs parallel and slightly to the north of the Warwick-Allora Road. Toolburra railway station is on this line; however there are currently no passenger services operating on this line.
History
The locality name Toolburra is taken from an 1840 pastoral run, and is believed to be a word from the Gidabal language, which means either tree people, territory marked by a clump of trees or spears being thrown.
