Well here are 10 REAL and ACTUAL place names in Australia where a =
meteorite fall might cause some interest!

1. Beeron, QLD. (As an Aussie I just see this as "Beer On!" ;-) )

2. Berverly Hills, NSW. (Just to confuse the heck out of everyone!)

3. Crooked Corner, NSW. (Oh wait! Isn't that already a synonym for the =
local finders and Police of Park Forest?)

4. Ty, QLD. (Just easy to spell.)

5. Jerrabomberra, NSW. (And that one just sounds cool!)

6. Pleasure Point, NSW. (Well.....)

7. Bang Bang Jump Up, QLD. (Huh?)

8. Egg and Bacon Bay, TAS. (You can get a good breakfast before a day of =
meteorite hunting!)

9. The Common, QLD. (Too bad if it's a Chassignite!!!)

10. The Rock, NSW. (And definitely too bad if this one's an iron!!!)

11. Tangamgalanga, VIC. (T...Tan...Tang... Ahh, forget it!)

12. Burrumbuttock, NSW. (Let's keep this clean now!)

13. Hell Hole Gorge, QLD. (The ultimate survivor meteorite hunt! The =
tribe has spoken!)

And finally; if a meteorite ever lands in one of these towns then =
they're going to have an interesting time approving the name!
