History

[edit]

The locality was originally gazetted as Roger River in 1962. In 1978 it was re-gazetted as Rogerton, but five months later it was again re-gazetted as Roger River.[2]

Geography

[edit]

The Arthur River passes through from south-east to south-west, and then forms part of the south-western boundary. The Duck River passes through from the north-east to the north-west.[3]

Road infrastructure

[edit]

The C218 route (Trowutta Road) enters from the north-east and travels south for a short distance before splitting to two branches. Trowutta Road exits to the east and Roger River Road runs south-west through the locality before exiting. Route C214 (Blackwater Road) starts at an intersection with route C218 on the south-western boundary and runs away to the south-west.[4]
