It was located 128 kilometres (80 mi) north of Mullewa and 204 kilometres (127 mi) west of Cue in the Mid West region. The Murchison River runs along the eastern boundary of the property.
The station currently occupies an area of 130,979 hectares (323,656 acres) leasehold and 59 hectares (146 acres) freehold. The homestead was built in the early 1900s and has five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The property also has a hangar, two workshops, generator shed, four sets of cattle yards, and a shearing shed with quarters. The lands are divided into 17 paddocks and watered by 23 wells, 16 bores and 38 windmills and was supporting a herd of 450 cattle in 2013, but able to carry a total of 8,000 head.
The property was acquired by a partnership between Andrew Dempster and John Chow Miller in 1893 from the executors of the late Thomas Burges. The partnership dissolved after financial disputes and the property, along with Berin Station, were put up for auction in 1897. Billabalong comprised a total of 196,630 acres (79,573 ha), had a six-room homestead, stone shearing shed and 100 miles (161 km) of fencing. It was stocked with 7,000 sheep, 1,400 head of cattle and 100 horses.
