Hi Goeran/List,
just a quick note to remind you that Federal laws protect meteorites
found in Australia and it is an offence to export one without a permit.
*In Western Australia and South Australia legislation means that
meteorites are the property of the Government and must be lodged with an
appropriate Museum.* In other States, the finder is able to keep a
meteorite.
Also please keep in mind that the areas are VERY remote and not so easy
accessable.
It is advisable to travel at least with two relyable 4WD's, one driver
experienced in Outback travelling.
Even though it is now winter time and often rainy carry enough water and
food in case you get bogged. Also a SatPhone or HF Radio would be
adviseable to carry.
The better fields are more east from Kalgoolie, like the Camel Donga
strewnfield, in the Nullarbor Plain.
Anyway, Welcome to Australia, and have a great time.
Best regards from Down-Under,
Norbert Kammel

Hi list!
I'm currently sitting 50 meters from the Indian Ocean and planning my
vacation in Australia. In about a week I will have a lot of free time
and I wanted to spend one week hunting for meteorites here in western
Australia.
I know that I probably can't bring any stones back home but I still
want to hunt.
Is there any good places to hunt between Perth and Kalgoorlie or in
that area?
Any other places in Western Australia that I should visit?
Is there any description of the meteorite field in Camel Donga? That
is an area I would like to spend a couple of days in.
Any other tips for me?
Apart from meteorite hunting, I'm invited to a wedding and I'm going
to hunt for gold so I have my metal detector with me.
