Buladelah is on the eastern and northern banks of the Myall River, approximately 480 metres (1,575 ft) east of the confluence of the Myall and Crawford rivers.

Logging was a traditional industry of Bulahdelah until 1994 when political pressure from conservation groups resulted in the conversion of much of the Forestry Commission land to National Parks. It still contributed significantly to the economy of Bulahdelah in the early 2000s.


Alum Mountain: overlooking the town, Alum Mountain provides views of the area from Cabbage Tree Mountain to the coastline. A lookout is accessible via walking trails and car access extends about two thirds of the way up. Abandoned mining equipment from the mining operations up until 1952 is found in parts of the mountain as are blast caves. A disused mining cart trail directly up the mountain (known by the locals as "the trolley track") is part of the heritage mine-site complex.
