Eastern Creek, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eastern Creek is a suburb in the City of Blacktown, in Western Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is adjacent to Erskine Park and Rooty Hill.
It is most notable for containing the former Wonderland Sydney amusement park, and the Eastern Creek Raceway, which adjoins the Prospect Reservoir.
The suburb's name origin lies in the fact the eastern branch of South Creek became to known as "Eastern Creek". The village that then grew where the road crossed the creek became known as Eastern Creek.
Given the industrial nature of the area, this suburb is managed as a part of the Eastern Creek Area, along with Arndell Park and Huntingwood. With this in mind most statistics and demographic information is not available for this suburb by itself.
