Far out, you would think you would see the thing i know it blends in but need to be kinda vigilant at night on that road. When we crossed recently did a bit of diving at night but took it easy slowed down a bit as roos everywhere in some spots, still got passed by cars doing at least 110, they would be absolutely toatalled if a roo poped out as they do . . .

Exactly ,and most of us have the benefit of spotties but still drive to the conditions and as for putting lights on the underside chassis of trucks you have to be kidding .
I only drive about 85 to 90 at night, even with a roo bar. A lot of people probably would have hit the truck too. Maintaining the reflectors on the side of rail wagons is a constant, tedious job, so having reflectors under a truck would drive you nuts. One trip on a dirt road would negate the reflector, or even a light.
If you found it in W.A. then memory loss is a good thing as all Meteorite in W.A. is owned by the Guv'ment.
Was the same in S.A. yoinks ago, dunno if it still is or what the law is in other States.
You can figure out the origin thru testing as every Meteorite has unique composition.
Chunks off certain ones can be very valuable apparently, not sure how you get ownership or prove provenance.
W.A. has Cameras that track Meteorites and get a rough idea where they impact then the 'hunt' is on... reward and the kudo's if you find it... $1,000 fine if you remove any of it (or any meteorite pieces anywhere in WA)

Wasn't sure if I found it on the Tanami track or the Plenty Highway but have narrowed it to the Plenty Highway and looking at some samples from Huckity (NT) I'd say someone picked it up there and dropped it or threw it away at Monrika Station ( Qld), at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it .
Can be sold but only locally ET as in Australia only , we did visit Henbury and Mick Taylor's place but I never picked up anything from either .
As for how do I know it's a meteorite 10G , I took it to a rock doctor but it's mainly metallic and very highly magnetic but hardly gives of a spark when I hit it with the angle grinder so appears to be mainly nickel but to be 100% sure I could get it tested but bugger that .
Does it glow Green and you feel ever so Lethargic the closer you get to it Rob mate?
Chuck it away I says too before the Zod Trio arrive on your doorstep!!
