Lake Monduran forms much of the western boundary of the locality. The lake is the impoundment of the Kolan River by the Fred Haigh Dam (also known as the Monduran Dam). The river flows from the dam in the west of the locality through the locality to the east, where then forms the boundary between neighbouring localities Bucca and Damascus.
The dam was originally to be called Monduran Dam. However, the Queensland Water Commissioner, Fred Haigh, had been a major driving force behind the dam and, following his sudden death on 15 July 1974, the Queensland Cabinet decided to rename the dam in his honour in 1979, retaining the name Monduran for the lake it created.
The east of Kolonga is bounded by Lake Monduran, the impoundment of the Fred Haigh Dam. [3] The Bruce Highway passes through the locality from Takilberan in the south to Lowmead to the north. Shortly after the highway enters from the south, Kalpowar Road branches off to Gaeta in the west. [3] The land use is grazing on native vegetation. [3]
From this point the river flows south by east and enters Lake Monduran, formed in 1978 by the damming of the river in order to mitigate severe flooding in the river's lower reaches. [4] The river then flows east and then finally north by east and reaches its mouth north of Moore Park .
