 History 
The community was created around 1978 when Aboriginal people moved from the Balgo Mission to the Billiluna Station. The land for the cattle station was given to the Aboriginal Lands Trust in 1978, which led to the creation of the community. Today, the community is run by the Mindibungu Aboriginal Corporation. In 1979, construction of houses and schools began.

 Geography 
The community is located on the Canning Stock Route, a long and historic track used to move cattle. The name Billiluna comes from the local Aboriginal language and is thought to mean "water hole." The community has a Catholic school and a store.
