It is on the Nullarbor Plain, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) from its western fringe; the topography is flat and well grassed, with saltbush and bluebush, with small belts of myall and myoporum trees. Annual rainfall is 288 millimetres (11.3 inches). Maximum daytime temperatures are typically 38 °C (100 °F) through summer and 19 °C (66 °F) during winter. The population in the wider Rawlinna area was recorded as 33 people in the 2021 Australian census; there were 7 private dwellings.
Rawlinna is at the southernmost end of the Connie Sue Highway, a 4-wheel drive track that extends 650 km (400 mi) north to the Aboriginal community of Warburton. Rawlinna comes under the jurisdiction of the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, situated 380 km (240 mi) to the west.
Adjoining the railway line is Australia's largest operating sheep station, Rawlinna Station, covering an area slightly more than 1.0 million hectares (2.5 million acres or 3900 square miles): about the area of the Sydney conurbation. It runs up to 65,000 Merino sheep in a good season. Mustering and droving are done on motorbikes and in aircraft to locate them, beginning in January for a 10-week shearing program. A muster can take up to 100 kilometres (62 miles) to get the sheep into the shearing shed at Jumbuck's "Depot" outstation.
A small, open-cut limestone mine is 2 km (1.2 mi) north of the settlement, from which lime is extracted for gold production at Kalgoorlie.
