Tucked between Lawson and Wentworth Falls, Bullaburra is one of the smallest villages in the Blue Mountains — but don’t let its size fool you. This quiet, forest-fringed enclave is home to a number of MTNS MADE creatives who value solitude, clarity and connection to nature.

In Bullaburra, you’ll find visual artists, ceramicists, writers, textile makers, and musicians who have chosen this peaceful pocket as a base for their practice. Many work from home studios surrounded by bushland, creating work that is deeply grounded in place.

Bullaburra’s appeal lies in its simplicity. It’s a place for deep work, with no distractions — just birdsong, towering gums, and the occasional passing train. Creatives here are often independent operators, but still very much part of the wider MTNS MADE network. Collaborations with nearby towns are common, and the strong community of mid-mountains makers provides ongoing connection and support.

Whether it’s illustration, handcrafted goods, or sound production emerging from the trees, Bullaburra proves that sometimes the quietest places produce the boldest work.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF NGURRA

The City of the Blue Mountains is located within the Ngurra (Country) of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples. MTNS MADE recognises that Dharug and Gundungurra Traditional Owners have a continuous and deep connection to their Country and that this is of great cultural significance to Aboriginal people, both locally and in the region. For Dharug and Gundungurra People, Ngurra takes in everything within the physical, cultural and spiritual landscape – landforms, waters, air, trees, rocks, plants, animals, foods, medicines, minerals, stories and special places. It includes cultural practice, kinship, knowledge, songs, stories and art, as well as spiritual beings, and people: past, present and future. Blue Mountains City Council pays respect to Elders past and present while recognising the strength, capacity and resilience of past and present Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Blue Mountains region.
