Sisters Creek is a locality and small rural community in the local government areas of Waratah-Wynyard and Circular Head, in the North-west and west region of Tasmania. It is located about north-west of the town of Wynyard. The Bass Highway passes through from east to west, and the watercourse named Sisters Creek flows through from south to north. The 2016 census determined a population of 134 for the state suburb of Sisters Creek.[1]
An 1851 map of Tasmania names a range of hills in the vicinity as the “Sisters”. The name seems to have been applied to the nearby creek. The hills were subsequently officially named “Two Sisters”.[2]
The C229 route (Myalla Road) terminates at the Bass Highway in Sisters Creek. It runs south to, and from there leads, via route C236 (Pruana Road), to the Murchison Highway.[3]
