Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater..
Who remembers the trip in, more than the Crater?
I saw the crater after having traversed the Old Gun Barrel Highway and followed up with the CSR and was astounded when folk in general focused on the corrugated track hehe..
Well laid out for camping with long drop toilets. Sites have no shelter or shade but have separation between sites. Basic, covers the description
Located 145 km south of Halls Creek on the edge of the Tanami Desert, WA. It is considered the second largest well preserved meteorite impact crater in the world, caused when a 50 000 tonne meteorite crashed into the planet at high speed. The crater is 800 m across, 60 m to current floor and the references found list it as 300 000 years old. It was discovered by an aerial survey team in 1947.
Wolfe Creek is named after Robert Wolfe in 1889, a prospector and Halls Creek store owner.
