Orphan School Creek (Fairfield)

Orphan School Creek is a tributary of Prospect Creek, located entirely within the City of Fairfield, NSW. It starts in Allambie Road Reserve, Bossley Park, on the border with Edensor Park, and flows in a generally eastern direction before emptying into Prospect Creek. The creek is a mostly natural waterway, with only the middle reach flowing through a concrete channel and piped system.[1] It is approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) in length, and has one tributary, Clear Paddock Creek. As the name suggests, Orphan School Creek was named after an orphan school in the area.[2] It is not to be confused with Orphan School Creek, Sydney.
