Bilbul is a village in the Australian state of New South Wales. It lies in the central part of the Riverina and situated about 6 kilometres north-east of Griffith and 6 kilometres south-west of Yenda. Bilbul was named in honor of William T Bull, [3] an early landowner from the 1880s. The William Bull Brewery is located at Bilbul and named after William Bull, [3] and thus indirectly also after Bilbul. [3] The town had a population at the 2021 census census of 586 people. [2]

The head office of De Bortoli Wines, the makers of wine brands such as Noble One, a Botrytis Semillon, [4] is at Bilbul. [5]

Bilbul Post Office opened on 6 November 1922. [6]

Bilbul Public School closed in October 2011 after enrolments fell to an all-time low. [7] After over 80 years of operation, the Bilbul Store closed its doors on 31 March 2017. [8]
