It lies 161.2 km north of Armidale, NSW (from Armidale, NSW: bearing 353°T), and is situated 38.1 km north-east of Ashford.

The air, especially in the long, slow afternoons, carries a dry, clean scent, tinged with the faintest whisper of distant cattle. The roads, often a stark, pale ribbon against the earth, lead towards the gentle swell of low hills, their contours softened by the pervasive, golden light that seems to linger just a little longer each day. The very silence of Riverton is a sound in itself, a deep, resonant quiet that allows the rustle of dry grass and the distant cry of a bird to take centre stage.

The memory of pioneering endeavours is subtly present, a quiet strength that underpins the present-day life of Riverton.
