Geography

The watercourse Bulli Creek, as which the locality is presumably named, rises in the north of the locality and flows north where it becomes a tributary of Western Creek, then Weir River within the Murray-Darling basin. [3]

The Gore Highway passes through the locality from east (Wattle Ridge) to west (Kindon). [4]

A large part of the north of the locality is within the Western Creek State Forest while a large part of the south of the locality is within the Bulli State Forest. Apart from these protected areas, the land use is a mixture of crop growing and grazing on native vegetation. [5]
