About Lindesay Creek

Lindesay Creek is a small rural locality in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, situated in the Kyogle local government area approximately 40 kilometres south-west of Lismore. With a population of around 27 residents across nearly 47 square kilometres of subtropical hinterland, it is a sparsely settled farming district. The locality takes its name from the watercourse that flows through the area, draining the ranges of the Border Ranges National Park catchment. Rolling green hills, rainforest fringes, and mixed farming characterise the landscape.

Lindesay Creek appeals to those seeking a deeply rural and off-the-beaten-track lifestyle in the lush Northern Rivers countryside. The community is small and self-sufficient, with lifestyle block owners, hobby farmers, and families drawn to the area's natural beauty and relative affordability compared to coastal Northern NSW. Kyogle township (approximately 25 km north-west) provides the nearest services including shops, schools, and a hospital. The broader Northern Rivers region offers access to the renowned Nimbin, Lismore, and Byron Bay precincts for those who venture further afield.

Lindesay Creek falls under postcode 2476 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
