About Warragai Creek

Warragai Creek is a small rural locality in the Clarence Valley region of northern New South Wales, situated between the towns of Casino and Grafton along the Summerland Way. The locality takes its name from the creek that crosses the area where Warragai Road intersects the North Coast railway line — a crossing that was once served by a railway station opened in 1905 and since closed. The postcode 2460 places it within the broader Grafton district in the Richmond and Clarence river hinterland.

The Summerland Way corridor through which Warragai Creek sits is characterised by open farmland, beef cattle grazing, and subtropical woodland on the ancient river terraces between Casino and Grafton. The broader Clarence Valley is one of New South Wales' most productive agricultural regions, known for beef, dairy, and cane farming. Grafton (the district's main centre, approximately 35 kilometres south) is famous for its Jacaranda Festival and tree-lined streets, while Casino (to the north-west) is the principal beef-industry hub for the Northern Rivers. Residents of Warragai Creek rely on private vehicles for all services, with both towns providing full amenities within easy reach.

Warragai Creek falls under postcode 2460 and is governed by the Clarence Valley Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Page, while state elections fall under the Northern Tablelands electorate.
