Wisemans Creek is a locality in the Oberon Shire of New South Wales, Australia. The area has also been known as Glenburn.[2] It had a population of 113 people as of the 2016 census.[1]
Wisemans Creek Post Office opened on 1 January 1886 and closed on 30 June 1976.[3] Wisemans Creek Provisional School operated from September 1868 to September 1870.[4] It also formerly had a cricket club, debating society and bushfire brigade.[5][6][7]
The area has historically been used for mining of copper and gold.[8][9] The Black Bullock mine was worked successfully by Windsor Resources during the 1980s and was subject to ongoing drilling from a joint venture in the 1990s; it was still being viewed as a prospect by Heron Resources in 2017.[10]
In June 1970, it was proposed to remove the Wisemans Creek name and refer to the area as Glenburn; however, this was reversed in August that year.[11][12]
