About German Creek
German Creek is a rural locality in south-eastern South Australia, situated in the District Council of Grant in the Limestone Coast region. The name reportedly comes from a German who was shepherding in the area. The district was offered to the government for closer settlement in 1911, but the government declined and the area was instead privately subdivided. It was briefly renamed Benara Creek in 1918 during World War I anti-German place-name changes.
