About Bullaburra
Bullaburra is a small township in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, perched at an elevation of 728 metres and nestled between the villages of Lawson and Wentworth Falls. Part of Blue Mountains City Council, the suburb is home to around 1,300 residents and sits within the Greater Sydney statistical area despite its distinctly rural mountain character. Bullaburra has its own train station on the Blue Mountains Line, making it accessible to commuters while retaining the quiet, bushland feel typical of the mid-Mountains.
Life in Bullaburra is defined by its natural surroundings — eucalypt bushland, cool-temperate air, and proximity to national park walking tracks. Two nearby reserves, Red Gum Park and Sir Henry Parkes Park, offer green space for locals. For everyday amenities and services, residents typically head to neighbouring Lawson or Wentworth Falls, each a short drive or train ride away. The suburb is popular with families, artists, and those seeking an affordable entry point to the Blue Mountains lifestyle, away from the busier tourist precincts of Katoomba and Leura.
Bullaburra falls under postcode 2784 and is governed by Blue Mountains Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Blue Mountains electorate.
