Vanlee features fertile river and creek frontage country including broad river flats running from Parallel Creek and the Einasleigh River out to red basalt pebbly ridges.
A large portion of Vanlee has red soils with areas of basalt, sand ridges and decomposed granite. Range country surrounds the northern and southern boundaries.
The moderately timbered country has mainly black spear grass with a good balance of kangaroo, white spear, forest Mitchell, and spinifex, plus a variety of summer herbages. Prolific stands of seca, verano, stylos, urochloa and buffel are found along the river frontages.
Vanlee is divided into 10 main paddocks and 10 holding paddocks serviced by three sets of equipped cattle yards.
