Dry Creek is a locality in the Upper Hunter Shire Council local government area of New South Wales, Australia. The locality covers an area of 31.8 km². It lies approximately 223 km north of Sydney.

Dry Creek lies cradled in a wide, shallow valley where rolling hills, brushed with the tawny hues of sun-bleached grass and the deeper greens of scattered eucalypts, begin to soften their ascent towards the more rugged country further north. It lies 89.5 km south of Tamworth, NSW (from Tamworth, NSW: bearing 187°T), and is situated 12.9 km south of Murrurundi. The land here is etched with the patient work of water, though the creek itself often runs as a dry scar of reddish earth, its presence only truly revealed after the infrequent, but often dramatic, downpours that sweep across the Upper Hunter. Sunlight, when it breaks through the vast, pale blue sky, casts long, languid shadows that stretch and shrink across the undulating terrain, giving the landscape a subtle, breathing quality that shifts with the passing hours. The air, especially in the early morning, carries a clean, dry scent of dust and wild herbs, a fragrance that speaks of the enduring resilience of this country.
The history of Dry Creek is intrinsically linked to the pastoral leases that first opened up this country for grazing, a legacy still evident in the weathered fences and the scattered woolsheds that punctuate the landscape. For generations, sheep and cattle have been the lifeblood of Dry Creek, their steady rhythm dictating the pace of life for the families who have long called this place home. While the broader region has seen shifts in its economic fortunes, with periods of mining activity influencing neighbouring areas, Dry Creek itself has largely maintained its agricultural character, a quiet dedication to the land. A distinctive feature of the local character is a deep-seated pragmatism, a quiet strength forged in the face of unpredictable seasons and the inherent challenges of rural life, a spirit that finds its expression in the unpretentious hospitality offered to any traveller who might venture this way.
