About Browns Creek

Browns Creek is a rural locality in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, located within the Bathurst Regional Council area and sharing postcode 2799 with Bathurst and surrounding localities. Spread across approximately 55 square kilometres of open grazing land and creek flats, the area has a small, dispersed population and is primarily used for livestock farming and mixed agriculture. It lies roughly 15 kilometres north-east of Bathurst, one of Australia's oldest inland cities.

The locality offers a quiet rural lifestyle within easy reach of Bathurst's full complement of services, including Charles Sturt University, hospitals, shops and cultural venues. The surrounding Central Tablelands landscape is ideal for those who appreciate open space, with the Macquarie River system, state forests and the Mount Panorama motor racing circuit all accessible from the Bathurst area.
