On 22 November 2019 the Queensland Government decided to amalgamate the localities in the Barcaldine Region, resulting in five expanded localities based on the larger towns: Alpha, Aramac, Barcaldine, Jericho and Muttaburra. The larger southern part of Ingberry was incorporated into Barcaldine, while the smaller northern part was incorporated into Aramac.[3][4][5]

Geography

The Barcaldine Aramac Road passes through the locality entering from the south (Barcaldine) and exiting to the west (Ibis).[6]

Aramac Creek rises in the south-east of the locality and flows through the locality, exiting to the north (Pelican Creek). It is a tributary of the Thomson River which is part of the Lake Eyre drainage basin.[6]

The principal land use is grazing.[6]
