About Kerrs Creek

Kerrs Creek is a small rural village and locality in the Central West region of New South Wales, located on the main western railway line between Orange and Wellington within the Cabonne Council local government area (postcode 2800). The village came into existence in 1880 when the railway was built through the area, though the broader district had been settled as early as 1838, giving Kerrs Creek a rich agricultural and pioneer history. With a population of around 58 people (2021 Census) spread across a large 93-square-kilometre locality, it is a quintessentially quiet rural community.

Kerrs Creek sits in typical Central Tablelands farming country, with broad paddocks used for sheep, cattle, and cropping interspersed with scattered eucalyptus woodland. Life here is underpinned by the rhythms of agriculture, with residents largely self-sufficient and dependent on Orange (approximately 25 km to the south-east) for schools, hospitals, and major shopping. The locality is popular with those seeking affordable rural land close to Orange's growing wine and food tourism scene, and the Cabonne region's scenic countryside makes it an attractive destination for weekend visitors.

Kerrs Creek falls under postcode 2800 and is governed by Cabonne Council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Orange electorate.
