Welcome to Secret Creek Cafe and Restaurant

Secret Creek is a vegan cafe and restaurant set inside a 200 acre native wildlife sanctuary. We specialise in unique functions and rustic weddings.

Founder, Trevor Evans worked for 20 years in the mines before leaving to pursue his dream of saving Australia's endangered species, creating the Australian Ecosystems Foundation Inc and built Secret Creek Sanctuary.

Set in Lithgow, New South Wales, Secret Creek is now home to Eastern Quoll, pure-bred dingo, long-nosed Potoroo, Rufous Bettong, Spotted-tailed Quoll, Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby, the Cream-striped Red-necked Pademelon, Swamp Wallaby, Emu and Brush Turkey.

Secret Creek Cafe and Restaurant has been open since 2004, and in 2001 one of Trevor's daughters, Tenille Evans, returned to Lithgow to take over management of the restaurant after living in Sydney for over 10 years working in the hospitality and design industries. Her team includes a very small passionate group of local food professionals.

Trevor continues to run Secret Creek Sanctuary and is currently running evening wildlife tours, and working on a number of conservation programs.
