History
The name of the creek originates from early settler Augustus Adolphus Leycester, who took up the pastoral lease at Tunstall Station with his partner Robert Shaw.[1] Leycester Creek, then known as Duck Creek, was the northern boundary of Tunstall Station (now Tuncester).[2]
Cubawee Aboriginal reserve was situated on the creek near Tuncester.[3] On 7 May 2010, Cubawee was pronounced an Aboriginal Place under the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974.[4]
The creek is prone to flooding at its confluence with Wilsons River at Lismore, and there were devastating floods in 2022 which spilled over both banks near the town of Lismore.[5] The Walsh Bridge on Rosehill Road at Tuncester, formerly a wooden bridge, was rebuilt in concrete in 2023, to better withstand flooding.[6]
