About Bulee
Bulee is a remote and uninhabited rural locality in the South Coast hinterland of New South Wales, situated in the rugged transitional zone between the Southern Tablelands and the coastal escarpment, sharing postcode 2622 with the nearby Braidwood district. The locality covers 56 square kilometres of steep terrain, eucalypt forest and open grassland in the area broadly between Nerriga, Braidwood and the upper Shoalhaven River valley. The 2021 census recorded zero permanent residents, reflecting its character as undeveloped bushland and sparse grazing country with negligible habitation. The locality falls within the Hume federal electorate and South Coast state electorate, reflecting its transitional geographical position between inland tablelands and the NSW South Coast.
Bulee's landscape is shaped by the dramatic topography of the Morton and Budawang national parks region, with sandstone plateau escarpments, deep gorges and remote bushland that draw serious bushwalkers and four-wheel-drive enthusiasts. The historic village of Nerriga (postcode 2622), approximately 20–25 kilometres to the south-east, is the nearest inhabited locality, while the heritage town of Braidwood (approximately 40 kilometres to the south-west) provides the nearest shops, services and community facilities. Nowra on the South Coast is approximately 60 kilometres to the east via the Nerriga Road, providing coastal access. The area's profound remoteness and rugged natural scenery make it a destination for off-road adventurers exploring the Shoalhaven's wild hinterland.
Bulee falls under postcode 2622 and is governed by the Shoalhaven Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Hume, while state elections fall under the South Coast electorate.
