Maules Creek is a suburb of Regional NSW, New
South Wales and is about 391 kms north-northwest
of NSW's capital city of Sydney.
Maules Creek is a hamlet burrowed in the
picturesque foothills of Mt Kaputar National Park. It
is accessed from Narrabri by taking Old
Gunnedah Road, crossing the Harparary Bridge
and then turning onto the Maules Creek Road to
head for ‘the hills’. The rugged and enchanting
landscape hides a deep rich black soil, perfectly
suited to farming. As a result, the region harbours
some of the country’s leading cattle studs.
The Maules Creek coal mine is a large open-cut
black coal mine owned and operated by
Whitehaven coal, located in the Gunnedah Basin,
near Boggabri in New South Wales, Australia.
