Description

Weeloona (Wiluna) is in the traditional territory of the Tjupany people. The name is thought to reflect the cry of native curlew birds in the area. Around Weeloona in the wet season freshwater lakes appear that attract many forms of wildlife It is this bounty that would have made it significant for Aboriginal people on the ancient north-south trade routes.  Weeloona was also probably a connecting point for those conducting trade deep within the central desert.
