Frenches Creek is a rural locality in the Scenic Rim Region, Queensland, Australia.[2] In the 2021 census, Frenches Creek had a population of 91 people.[1]
Teviot Brook enter the locality from the south (Bunjurgen) where it forms the south-eastern boundary of the locality and then exits towards the east (Dugundan). The watercourse Frenches Creek (from which the creek's name likely derives) rises in the north-west of the locality on the slopes of Mount French and becomes a tributary to Teviot Brook.[3]
Mount Alford Road enters the locality from the east (Dugundan) and exits to the south (Bunjurgen).[4]
There is some irrigated cropping near Teviot Brook with most of the locality being used for grazing on native vegetation. The higher slopes of Mount French in the north-west of the locality are undeveloped.[4]
