The Blue Mountains National Park, which is a World Heritage Site, is situated not far to the north and south of the town.

The Railway Department had agreed to supply electricity to the Blue Mountains Shire Council from the power station at Lithgow and a transmission line was put through from Blackheath to Lawson with a track to provide maintenance access.

Parts of the track were also blocked off when the council constructed Greaves Creek dam in 1942 as a local water supply.

Much later, however, a local walker named Dick Rushton found a copy of the pamphlet published in 1931 and set out to clear and mark the track.

By 1986, Bruce's Walk had come to the attention of two other walkers, Jim Smith and Wilf Hilder, who organised a group of volunteers to clear the track between Bullaburra and Wentworth Falls.

In the process, they found many artefacts and features, including signs, shelter caves, seats and picnic tables.

[citation needed] Today, Bullaburra is primarily a residential area and "blue skies" village in the Aboriginal word.

It is popular for its natural beauty, with easy access to hiking tracks leading to nearby Wentworth Falls and the Three Sisters.
