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]
