History
The name "Billimari" is Aboriginal for "plenty of water" in the local Wiradjuri language.[1]
In 1923 the existing silo was built which had a dramatic effect on day-to-day business in the village as there was no longer a need for wheat to be transported to nearby centres. Around the same time the neighbouring townships of Canowindra and Cowra began to flourish to the detriment of Billimari. Over time the village hall started to deteriorate as a result. In the early 1970s, Locals rallied to repair the hall and in 1976 the "Billican" was formed which produces plays among its many fund raising activities for charity. The Billican earned the Cowra Council's Australia Day Award for Service to the Community in 1994.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The first automatic telephone exchange was set up 16 September 1971 and Madeline Forgie became the postmistress on 19 November 1973.[1]
