Bulli’s main historical feature is the railway station, situated between the escarpment and surf beaches. This station was the first on the south coast and contains an interesting museum.

The coal was transported by rail from the mine to a jetty at Sandon Point where it was then loaded onto the waiting ships. The miners were paid on their production and not a set wage. The first trade union was formed by the Bulli miners in 1879 and management retaliated by firing and evicting those in the union and hiring non-union miners instead. In 1887 the areas worst mining disaster killed 81 men and boys. The mine has long since been levelled with concrete founding marking the position of the old office and other buildings. Hidden along the cliff behind the old foundations can be found the old entrances to the mines. These have 
been sealed off with concrete. The old railway line from the mine to the coast has been removed but upon driving south into Bulli you can see the bridge it was set in, now features a welcome sign for the historic “ Black Diamond” district
