ALUMY CREEK Alumy Creek is a small rural area on the northern outskirts of Grafton along the road to Lawrence. The area is named after the water course that flows through the region being Alumy Creek. The Creek is now dammed and joins the Clarence River at Southgate which was originally an arm of the Clarence River flowing through Grafton splitting the area known as Westlawn from the city centre of Grafton in times of flood. The Alumy Creek Reserve at 465 Lawrence Road features a one teacher school and residence which operated from 1872 until 1969.

Located in beautiful surroundings, it has been fully restored to capture the charm of a classroom of its era. Now being run as a museum, opening times are Monday mornings 9am - 11am, other times by appointment.
