The locality covers an extensive 297 square kilometres of flat, irrigated agricultural land that forms part of the Murray Irrigation Area. With a population of 68 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, Tullakool is a dispersed rural community centred on irrigated farming.
Tullakool has a notable place in Australian agricultural history as the site of the first commercial rice crop grown in the Murray Valley, and the surrounding district remains important for irrigated crops including rice, cotton, and cereals. The flat, open plains of the Riverina are characteristic of this part of NSW, where the Murray River and its tributary systems underpin the local farming economy. The nearest service town is Wakool to the east, while Deniliquin — the major regional centre for the lower Riverina — is approximately 80 kilometres to the south-east. Residents of Tullakool live a quintessential Riverina farming lifestyle, with private vehicles essential for accessing schools, services, and supplies.
