Geography edit
Most of Roseneath forms the foothills of Mount Stuart and is mountainous terrain rising to unnamed peaks of up to 300 metres. It is mostly undeveloped bushland. The Flinders Highway (Stuart Drive) and the Great Northern Railway pass through the very eastern part of the locality (at times forming its boundary) which is the base of the mountain (about 30 metres above sea level) near to Stuart Creek (which forms part of the eastern boundary of the locality). The small residential area is mostly located east of the highway and railway beside Stuart Creek but there are a small number of the homes immediately to the west of the highway and railway.[4]
History edit
The suburb named and bounded on 12 June 1992. The name is believed to be a local pastoral property name before the Great Northern Railway was built in 1880.[2]
