It lies 460.7 km north-north-west of Dubbo, NSW (from Dubbo, NSW: bearing 344°T), and is situated 78.4 km west-north-west of Dirranbandi.

The air, especially as the sun begins its slow descent, carries a dry warmth, a scent of sun-baked earth and distant, unseen livestock. Here, the land breathes with a quiet resilience, a subtle pulsing beneath the relentless Queensland sun, and the very silence seems to hold a conversation with the wind.
The story of Bollon is deeply entwined with the pastoral heritage of the Balonne Shire, an economy built on the backs of wool and beef. For generations, this land has sustained hardy graziers, their lives a testament to the enduring spirit required to coax prosperity from this country. The railway, a vital artery in its early days, brought with it a sense of burgeoning possibility, connecting this remote outpost to the wider world and shaping the very character of Bollon. While the hum of the highway now carries much of the traffic, the echoes of that bygone era still resonate, a quiet reminder of the grit and determination that have shaped this distinctive corner of Queensland.
