Collins Creek is a small rural locality in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, situated approximately 35 kilometres south-west of Kyogle in the Richmond Valley. The area spans around 34 square kilometres of lush hinterland country, characterised by rolling hills, rainforest remnants and the creek systems of the Clarence River catchment. With a population of just 167 residents, Collins Creek retains the intimate feel of a tightly knit farming community surrounded by the natural beauty of far north-eastern NSW.
Life in Collins Creek revolves around small-scale agriculture, hobby farms and acreage living, attracting families and sea-changers seeking an escape from urban pressures. The locality sits within the broader Kyogle local government area and benefits from access to community services in nearby Kyogle township. Residents enjoy the quiet pace of country life, with abundant birdlife, bushwalking opportunities and the distinctive subtropical character that defines the NSW Northern Rivers hinterland.
