Cheeseborough, Queensland
Geography
The Gregory Highway and the Central Western railway line pass through the south-west of the locality from Hibernia to the south through to Clermont to the west.
Huntley Creek loosely bounds the locality to the west and the Peak Range to the north-east with Anvil Peak (22°40′25″S 148°00′53″E / 22.6736°S 148.0147°E) rising to 737 metres (2,418 ft) above sea level.
Top Knot Hill (22°53′00″S 147°45′00″E / 22.8833°S 147.75°E) lies between the railway line and the highway in the south-west of the locality.
A small area in the north-east is within the Peak Range National Park, which extends into neighbouring Wolfang and Dysart. There is some cropping in the south-west but otherwise the predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.
