On September 2, 1967 at 10:46 p.m. local time a large meteorite shower fell East of Wiluna in an elliptical area 5 x 3 kilometres. It is estimated that 500 to 1000 stones hit the ground. The Western Australian Museum has 480 stones and others are in private hands. The Wiluna meteorite is classified as an H5 chondrite meteorite. This specimen was recovered during the search organized by the Western Australia Museum shortly after the fall. The specimen bears the painted collection number 12934 137 which indicates the 137st individual collected from the Wiluna meteorite fall.
