The park is dissected by the New South Wales-Queensland state border. The area is protected within Mount Barney National Park in Queensland and Border Ranges National Park in New South Wales. To get to the top requires some very steep rockclimbing.

The Mount Lindesay Highway passes close to Mount Lindesay.
