Bilbul, New South Wales
Bilbul is a village in the Australian state of New South Wales. It lies in the central part of the Riverina and situated about 6 kilometres north-east of Griffith and 6 kilometres south-west of Yenda. Bilbul was named in honor of William T Bull,[3] an early landowner from the 1880s. The William Bull Brewery is located at Bilbul and named after William Bull,[3] and thus indirectly also after Bilbul.[3] The town had a population at the 2021 census census of 586 people.[1]
The head office of De Bortoli Wines, the makers of wine brands such as Noble One, a Botrytis Semillon,[4] is at Bilbul.[5]
Bilbul Post Office opened on 6 November 1922.[6]
Bilbul Public School closed in October 2011 after enrolments fell to an all-time low.[7] After over 80 years of operation, Bilbul Store, notably owned by Robyn and Peter Catlin closed its doors on March 31, 2017.[8]
