The Conversations at Curlow Creek is a historical novel written by the prominent Australian author David Malouf.

The story takes place in 1827 on an isolated farm at the fictional locality of Curlow Creek in the mountains of the colony of New South Wales.

The two main characters are Michael Adair, an Irish-born officer in the colonial mounted troopers, and Daniel Carney, an Irish escapee and bushranger.

The narrative details conversations held by Adair and Carney throughout the cold night as they explore their shared Irish heritage.

As the plot progresses, Adair develops sympathy for Carney despite his criminal past and impoverished background.
