Wooroolin is on the Bunya Highway, 243 kilometers (151 mi) northwest of the state capital, Brisbane, and 17 km North of the main town, Kingaroy. Immediately to the east of the town is the Wooroolin Wetland, which is classified as a palustrine wetland, a non-tidal, inland, seasonally flooded, vegetated swamp.
