ive got a giant boulder 09 and its a great bike.
but a few times when ive been turning it has made a creaking type of noise but only sometimes.
Maybe it needs some oiling of something but i don't know which part i should be looking at.
Thanks in advance.

You're not running into the gutter are you buddy - that makes a pretty awful noise, usually accompanied by wobbles and a spill over the side which I'm sure you'd notice.
Take it back to the shop, something probably the headset wasn't tightened down right when they put it together out of the box.
Watch what the do when they fix it - instant Mountain bike maintenance course 101.

sounds to me like a dry headset, either that or cable routing issues

You are right. It needs some oiling. You better go the shop and solve the problem.
