Pheasant Creek, Victoria
Features and amenities
Pheasant Creek Post Office opened around 1902.
Due to its low population and close proximity to Kinglake West, Pheasant Creek has little in the way of community services. While the General Store handles basic supplies and post services, many residents travel to nearby Kinglake or Whittlesea for shopping and health services, while students generally attend Kinglake West Primary School and Whittlesea Secondary College
Pheasant Creek is served by the 384 bus route, connecting Pheasant Creek to Kinglake, Humevale and Whittlesea. To travel further south from Whittlesea, you can transfer on route 382 (Whittlesea - Northland SC via South Morang) or route 385.
A daily V/Line coach service also operates through nearby Kinglake West to Melbourne and Mansfield.
2009 bushfires
Pheasant Creek was one of the towns impacted by the 2009 Victorian bushfires. While surrounding localities on all sides were all largely devastated, Pheasant Creek suffered major losses primarily on its southern edge in areas surrounding the national park, while the northern area remained largely untouched.
