Western Creek is a locality in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, Australia.

[3][4] Most of Western Creek is within the Western Creek State Forest with only a few small areas of farmland and undeveloped land in the northern, eastern and southern parts of the locality.

In 1849 it was taken over by Captain Frances Durrell Vignoles in 1849,[5] who held it for about thirty years, but problems with grass seed and his sheep ruined him financially.

Following Russell's death, it was taken over by Albert Edward Specht of Wellcamp, the son of pioneering family on the Darling Downs.

The property originally carried over 100,000 head of sheep in addition to cattle and horses, but resumptions of land over the years reduced its capacity.
