Bullabulling (spelled "Bulla Bulling" until 1944) is a small townsite located 526 km (327 mi) east of Perth, Western Australia on the Great Eastern Highway in the Goldfields-Esperance region.
The town was gazetted in 1898, [2] when the population of the town was 160 (140 males and 20 females). [3] Its central feature was the Rock Hotel roadhouse (also known as Rock Tavern), which closed around 2015. [4] Bullabulling is also the location of a reservoir which forms part of the Goldfields Water Supply Scheme. From here, the water gravitates (i.e. moves without pumping) to Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. [5]
In 1996, Bullabulling was registered as a place of cultural heritage significance. [6]
