The locality was previously known as Round Hill. The meaning of Cethana is believed to be an Aboriginal word for “hair”. Cethana was gazetted as a locality in 1965.[2]
Cethana Road (Route C136) forms part of the northern boundary. Cethana Power Station, with its associated dam, is within the locality.[3]
The C136 route (Cethana Road) enters the locality from the west, follows much of the northern boundary, passes through the eastern part, and exits to the east. Route C140 (Staverton Road) starts at an intersection with route C136 and exits to the north-east. Route C138 (Olivers Road) starts at an intersection with route C136 and exits to the south.[4]
