Fish Creek

Overview

Fish Creek, known locally as Fishy, is a rural village which attracts many visitors en route to ‘The Prom’.
 
With a Daliesque mullet balancing precariously on the top of the local 1930s-style pub and fish-shaped seats dotted around town, there is more to this uniquely themed town than meets the eye.
 
Fishy is a charming country town with a very strong community sprit.
