About Iron Pot Creek
Iron Pot Creek is a remote rural locality in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, situated within the Kyogle Council local government area. With a population of just 23 residents recorded in the 2021 census, it spans approximately 23 square kilometres of heavily timbered country about 37 kilometres west of Kyogle. The locality shares its name with the nearby Iron Pot Creek waterway and borders the protected Toonumbar National Park to the west.
Life in Iron Pot Creek revolves around small-scale farming, cattle grazing and the natural environment, with the surrounding national park offering bushwalking and wildlife observation opportunities. The traditional custodians of this country are the Gullibul, Githabul, Wahlubal and Bundjalung peoples. There are no commercial services within the locality itself — residents rely on Kyogle or Casino for supplies, health services and schooling. This is a place for those who genuinely seek seclusion and a self-sufficient rural lifestyle.
Iron Pot Creek falls under postcode 2474 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lismore electorate.
