Boree Creek is situated in the Federation Council local government area but is closer to the town of Lockhart.

Boree Creek is most famous for being the home town of former deputy prime minister Tim Fischer.

At times when Fischer was acting as prime minister, his property at Boree Creek became the "seat of power" of Australia.

[9] In 1940, 16 players from the Boree Creek FC enlisted for active duty in World War Two and thus, the club therefore pulled out of The Rock & District Football Assication in late June, 1940.

In 1913 the Boree Creek Amateur Picnic Race Club held their first race meeting on the private property of Mr Archibald Moffat, situated just behind the town's business centre, with the meeting making a profit of £50.
