Hello All!

And what about finds as the story is shrouded in mystery?

This mismatch implies it may have been an iron meteorite. The only
two iron meteorites for South Australia for that time ("unfortunately"
both of them finds) would be Coolac (IAB, 19.28 kg, New South Wales,
1874) and Yardea (IAB, 7.25 lb, 1875, found 4 miles south of Yardea
s t a t i o n).

Cheers,
