steve
Your web site is looking good , was most interested to see you went to
Veevers Meteorite Crater, So far I have been to
Yarrabubba,
Dalgaranga, and Wolf
Creek. so whats the little one like , you might find something of interest in my webpage on the subject
members.westnet.com.au/dtilley/impacts.htm
The crater has a symmetrical bowl-shaped topography and is considered to be one of the best preserved small meteorite craters on Earth[3]. The 20 m wide rim rises about 1.5 m above the plain, while the deepest point of the central depression is 7 m below the rim crest; the rim to rim diameter averages about 70 m[1][3]. Based on cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating of
the crater walls,
the crater is less than 20 thousand years old, while the pristine state of preservation of the ejecta has been used to suggest that it may in fact be less than 4 thousand years old[3].
The iron meteorite fragments collected around
the crater are classified as a coarse octahedrite belonging to chemical class IIAB; the fragments show considerable evidence of deformation presumably related to the impact explosion[4]. It has been inferred that the original meteorite was in the size range of 100-1000 tonnes, probably closer to the latter, now dispersed as fragments within
the crater filling breccia and ejecta[3].

Hi Steve
Well put together!!. Question, we will be travelling for a year or so so and would like to do a web page of our own. Just how difficult is it to do and what tips/pointers can you give us?
When at
lawn hill i'm sure you will hire canoe and paddle up
the gorge, go up to the second stage as
well, the hire guy says you can't but they are just worried about you dragging it over the ground. Two guys can carry it.
Have a great time.
Cheers Lyndon & Bernadette

hi lyndon
it was over my head as
well , but had some great help , best to speak to your server guys or just some one with a bit of knowledge, sort of got the hang of it now , ( i hope ) but dont think will ever be an expert.
just look out for the cost, some will try and scam you, cost us $ 155.00 and $ 83 for registration ,12 months
