On 17 April 2020 the Queensland Government reorganised the nine localities in the Shire of Bulloo, resulting in six localities. This included discontinuing the locality of Bullawarra by absorbing most of its land into Thargomindah except for a small portion in the south of Bullawarra which was absorbed into Bulloo Downs.[3][4][5]
The Bundeena Road passed east to west through the north of the locality. The Bulloo River flowed through the locality from east to south.[6]
