About Leigh Creek (SA)
Leigh Creek is a former coal-mining town in eastern central South Australia. At the 2016 census, Leigh Creek had a population of 245, a 55% decrease from 550 in the previous census in 2011. Situated to the west of the northern Flinders Ranges, the current town is 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) further south than the original town—it was moved to allow for the expansion of the mine and the establishment of the Leigh Creek Retention Dam.
