About Warrell Creek
Warrell Creek is a locality on the Mid North
Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Warrell
Creek is situated on the Pacific Highway 8 km
south of the township of Macksville, 15.5
km west of the coastal village of Scotts Head
and 11 km north of the Eungai locality.
In recent years the Warrell Creek locality has
seen some growth including the construction of
a rural fire service outpost. Warrell Creek will
undergo further significant change following
the completion of a proposed dual-carriage
Pacific Highway upgrade starting in 2014/15.
Warrell Creek, the watercourse, flows from the
Eungai locality (where it is known as Eungai
Creek), past Warrell Creek village, then
past Scotts Head, finally flowing into the mouth
of The Nambucca River at Nambucca Heads.
The North Coast railway line passes through,
and a station existed at, the site between
1919 and 1974. Prior to the mid-1980s Pacific
Highway upgrade, Warrell Creek was a small
saw-milling village. Facilities at the village
included a primary school, a railway station, a
shop, and a service station. That highway
re-alignment resulted in the demolition of the
local school, shop and other dwellings.
