 The Beltana roadhouse, now from Beltana on the main highway between Parachilna and Leigh Creek, acted as the town's local store until it closed in 2016.Beltana lies 240 m above sea level between the often dry Warrioota and Sliding Rock creeks near Mount Deception.Due to the flatness of the country, the town’s proximity to the creeks and the area’s usually unpredictable weather, heavy rainfall has often led to flooding.
