Before you all pack your bags, keep in mind that Australia has laws banning the exportation of meteorites, unless you manage to obtain an export permit. Not easy.
And no, I don't believe that they would be worth $3000 - $5000 a kilo. As usual the media has inflated the prices! Anne M.

Tom Kapitany believed it was only a matter of time before more meteorites were unearthed as areas of Botanic Ridge were developed. The Acacia estate, being built near the intersection of Browns and Craig roads, was one of the hottest prospects for meteorites, Mr Kapitany said. Any finds could be quite valuable — scientifically and financially — for those lucky enough to dig them up, with prices ranging from $3000-$5000 a kilogram. “The area now being opened is the one closest to where the largest of the dozen meteorites so far found came to Earth in a shower some time before European settlement,” Mr Kapitany said. “I would rate it as the hottest stretch along the line stretching roughly from Pakenham to Pearcedale. source: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/leader/south-east/geologist-rates-cranbourne-south-strip-a-hotspot-for-scientific-treasure-trove-of-undiscovered-meteorites/news-story/8b4a01009a0ca8b6194b75c49b1c9687?nk=1c4f088419f60cbb061d14b77c60b6e7-1445972452 ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
