What is Allenview Like?

Land and Rivers

Allenview is a beautiful area with natural features. The Logan River forms most of its eastern border. Farmers use water from this river to grow crops. This is called irrigated agriculture.

A railway line, the North Coast railway line, also runs along part of the eastern side. To the west, you'll find the Wyaralong Dam. This dam helps store water for the region. Teviot Brook is another waterway that flows through the western part of Allenview.

Allan's Creek

A creek called Allan's Creek flows through the area. It crosses the railway line where Allenview meets two other places: Bromelton and Gleneagle.
