Ross Creek, is a locality in the Golden Plains Shire near Ballarat in the Australian State of Victoria.
[1] The recreation reserve and a general store locality are located on the Sebastopol-Smythesdale Rd.
Sandwiched between the former gold fields of Ballarat and Woady Yaloak/Smythesdale the area was well forested and was used as a source of timber for gold mining and for supporting underground shafts and the growing of produce to supply the miners.
There was no gold at Ross Creek so there are no scars from early mining experienced.
During the 1860s farm allotments were taken up at Ross Creek, and in 1865 a Welsh Congregational church.
