The Millbillillie meteorite was observed to fall about 1:00pm in October, 1960 by two men opening a gate in the boundary fence along the Millbillillie - Jundee Station track near Wiluna in Western Australia. An object "with sparks coming off it" was observed to fall into a Spinifex (grass) plain to their North. No search was initiated at the time, however later in 1970 and 1971 a relative and friend of one of the original witnesses found the first two stones. One weighing 20kg (Main Mass) which is now in the Western Australia Museum and a smaller 565g piece. Local Aborigines later found even more stones with a Total Known Weight now somewhere around 100kg - 300kg. Millbillillie has been classified as an Achondritic (Polymict) Eucrite and displays a beautiful rich black glassy fusion crust.
