Hovells Creek

Hovells Creek is a rural locality in the central west region of New South Wales, Australia, approximately 40 km southeast of Cowra and 300 km west of Sydney. The area is characterized by its proximity to the Lachlan River and Wyangala Dam to the north and east, the Boorowa River catchment to the west, and Frogmore to the south. The Hovells Creek Landcare Group, a family-farm-based, not-for-profit community organization, is active in the region, focusing on sustainable agriculture and environmental restoration. Their initiatives include fencing waterways, protecting remnant vegetation, and planting native trees and shrubs. The group also engages in erosion control projects to address sedimentation issues in Hovells Creek and the Lachlan River.
