About Jacks Creek

Jacks Creek is a small rural locality in the Narrabri Shire of north-western New South Wales, situated approximately 30 kilometres south-east of Narrabri. Set within the fertile Liverpool Plains district, the area is characterised by vast cropping farms and open grazing land typical of the New England-North West region. With a modest population of around 180 residents spread across nearly 270 square kilometres, it remains one of the quieter corners of New South Wales.

Life in Jacks Creek revolves around agriculture — primarily dryland cropping of wheat, sorghum, and cotton — with residents relying on nearby Narrabri for most services, shopping, and schooling. The locality sits within a region celebrated for its clear skies and proximity to the Narrabri Siding Spring Observatory corridor. The tight-knit farming community values self-reliance and the unhurried pace of rural living, making it a true slice of outback New South Wales.
