Geography
As the name suggests, South Nanango is a locality south of the town of Nanango. The land is between 400 and 450 metres above sea level. The lower land which is well-watered by many small creeks is used for agriculture, principally grazing cattle. The higher land in the east and south of the locality is the South Nanango State Forest. South Nanango is on a drainage divide running through the locality from the north-east to the south west, with the north-western part of the locality contributing to the Burnett River basin and the south-eastern part of the locality contributing to the Brisbane River basin.[3]
The D'Aguilar Highway (which links Caboolture to Kingaroy) passes through the locality from south to north.[3]
