The name is taken from a native Australian dialect. Because the word billabong is derived from the indigenous Wiradjuri words of bila meaning 'river' and bang meaning 'continuing in time or space', it is regarded as a uniquely Australian term. Billabongs are still pools that have been cut off from a main watercourse. These are not only found in Australia, but are known by different names throughout the world.
