Overview

Scotts Creek is a locality in south-west Victoria, Australia, in the Corangamite Shire, 210 kilometres (130 mi) south-west of the state capital, Melbourne. Located where the Timboon-Colac Rd intersects the Cobden-Port Campbell Rd, Scotts Creek was a part of the original pastoral run of Daniel Curdie. Later the area was explored by gold prospectors but didn't find anything. Later came the timber workers and then the farmers. In 1886 the area was burnt out by the summer bushfires, but no-one was killed.
