Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater

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, 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, Western Australia. 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 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.

I got abused in 2005 after doing the Canning by "Friends" of WA NP's for parking on a knob of Spinifex - It is now under the camping area.

The Wheel has turned, for better or worse.
And it will keep on turning,
As lights die and forests dim,
Storms call and skies break.
Turn it will.
The Wheel is not hope,
And the Wheel does not care,
The Wheel simply is.
But so long as it turns,
Folk may hope, folk may care.
For with light that fades, another will eventually grow,
And each storm that rages must eventually die.
As long as the Wheel turns. As long as it turns...

Nope. I just slid on a dune, fell backwards and landed hard, butt first on said mound. If you reckon broken spinny spines in your hands, legs and butt cheeks are bad, just wait till you try some in the underside of your sack at the same time.

No I was a member of the cast, the full 1.5hr version that I have is much better. But not available to the public as yet.
