Detailed NSW Mid North Coast Topographic Mapping | Bulahdelah, Myall River, Bulahdelah Mountain, Bulahdelah State Forest & Myall Lakes Hinterland | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the River Valleys and Forested Mountains of Bulahdelah

Discover the winding rivers, remarkable mountain formations and beautiful forested landscapes of the New South Wales Mid North Coast with the Bulahdelah 9333-3S Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Bulahdelah and its surrounding hinterland, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, rural landowners, environmental professionals, forestry managers, surveyors, engineers and emergency services.

The Bulahdelah district occupies a distinctive geographical setting where the fertile valleys of the Myall River meet the forested foothills of the Great Dividing Range.

Situated approximately 100 kilometres north of Newcastle, Bulahdelah is an important gateway to the Myall Lakes region, an extraordinary landscape of coastal waterways, wetlands, forests and sandy lakeshores.

The Myall River is the defining waterway of the district. Rising in the Kyle Range near Stroud, it winds through agricultural and forested country before passing Bulahdelah and continuing towards Bombah Broadwater and the Myall Lakes system.

Its tributaries, floodplains and surrounding hills create a varied landscape of rural properties, river crossings, wooded ridges and natural drainage corridors.

One of Bulahdelah's most recognisable landmarks is Bulahdelah Mountain, also known as Alum Mountain, which rises prominently above the township.

The mountain is an important Aboriginal cultural place associated with the Worimi people, the Traditional Custodians of the surrounding Country.

During the nineteenth century, the mountain was worked for alunite, a mineral associated with the production of alum. Remnants of this industrial history form part of the area's distinctive heritage.

Today, walking tracks traverse native bushland and rocky slopes, providing elevated views across Bulahdelah and the surrounding river valley.

The Boolah-Dillah Track, Mountain Track and Ted Baker Track offer opportunities to appreciate the mountain's vegetation, cultural history and topography.

Around the township, Bulahdelah State Forest contains eucalypt woodland, forest roads, steep ridges and sheltered gullies. These landscapes demonstrate the contrast between the relatively level river flats and the rising country beyond.

The surrounding district includes Boolambayte Creek, Brush Creek, Bulahdelah Creek and the Myall River drainage network, important for understanding local catchments and water movement.

East of Bulahdelah, the wider Myall Lakes National Park landscape includes Boolambayte Lake, Myall Lake and Bombah Broadwater, connected by an intricate system of waterways and wetlands.

The park protects internationally significant wetland habitats, native forests and extensive coastal landscapes.

Nearby The Grandis, a towering flooded gum approximately 76 metres high, provides an impressive illustration of the region's productive forest environment.

Bulahdelah's relationship with the Pacific Highway, Booral Road and surrounding rural roads also makes this map useful for examining how regional transport corridors follow natural valleys and avoid steeper mountain terrain.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks and geographical references for interpreting this diverse landscape.

Whether you're exploring Bulahdelah Mountain, studying the Myall River catchment, investigating rural property or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Bulahdelah topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

The Bulahdelah district contains flood-prone river flats, steep forested slopes, rural properties and roads subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall can cause rapid rises in the Myall River and tributary creeks, affecting crossings and low-lying roads. Rocky walking tracks may become slippery in wet weather, while bushfires, storm damage and forestry operations may restrict access to forest roads. Some tracks cross private property or are subject to cultural heritage and conservation restrictions. Always check current road conditions and local alerts, respect access boundaries and carry suitable navigation equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for cadastral surveys, official flood studies or current emergency advice.
