About Pages Creek
Pages Creek is a sparsely populated rural locality in the Upper Hunter region of New South Wales, sharing postcode 2337 with the nearby town of Murrurundi. The locality takes its name from the Pages River, which rises on the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range below Mount Gregson and flows northeast before joining the Hunter River. With a recorded population of just 13 people, Pages Creek is one of the smallest localities in the Upper Hunter Shire and covers a large area of approximately 134 square kilometres.
The character of Pages Creek is defined by its rugged, pastoral landscape at the foot of the Liverpool Range, where sheep and cattle properties dominate the expansive acreage. The area forms part of the picturesque Upper Hunter Valley, beloved for its rolling hills, native bushland, and equestrian heritage. Residents are entirely self-sufficient in terms of lifestyle, with the town of Murrurundi — located on the New England Highway approximately 200km from Newcastle — serving as the nearest service centre for fuel, groceries, and community facilities.
Pages Creek falls under postcode 2337 and is governed by the Upper Hunter Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Parkes, while state elections fall under the Upper Hunter electorate.
