Bullabulling (spelled "Bulla Bulling" until 1944) is a small townsite located 526 km east of Perth, Western Australia on the Great Eastern Highway. The town was gazetted in 1898,[1] when the population of the town was 160 (140 males and 20 females).[2] Its central feature is the Rock Hotel roadhouse.

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.[3]

In 1996, Bullabulling was registered as a place of cultural heritage significance.[4]
