Blackbull is a rural locality in the Shire of Croydon, Queensland, Australia. [2] In the 2021 census, Blackbull had "no people or a very low population". [1]
The Gulf Developmental Road passes through the locality from the south-east to the south-west. The Normanton to Croydon railway line runs immediately parallel to it with the locality being served by the Blackbull railway siding. [3] The only service that operates on the railway line is the weekly Gulflander, which operates as a tourist attraction and includes a morning tea stop at the Blackbull railway siding. [4]
The Carron River "flows" through the locality from south-east to north-west, although in the dry season it is just a string of waterholes. It is a tributary of the Norman River which flows into the Gulf of Carpentaria. [3]
The locality takes its name from the Blackbull railway siding on Normanton to Croydon railway line. [2] The railway siding was originally called Pattersons siding, but was renamed in 1891, reportedly after a black bull found during mustering by William and Joseph Taaffe. [5]
In the 2016 census Blackbull had "no people or a very low population". [6]
In the 2021 census, Blackbull had "no people or a very low population". [1]
