Stony Creek is a freshwater stream flowing through the coastal region of New South Wales, Australia, eventually feeding into Burrill Lake. This waterway offers a mix of environments, from its upper creek sections to its confluence with the lake's western basin, providing opportunities for both wading anglers and those in small watercraft. The surrounding landscape supports a riparian zone typical of the region, with a focus on recreational fishing for several native species.
