Re: DARWIN, Australia - An unmapped meteorite crater has been discovered in
an uninhabited stretch on the edge of Arnhem Land.
    The crater, about 100 feet in diameter, was found by Capt. Harry Moss, a
pilot flying air ambulances for the government.


Hello list and Norm,

Norm noted: "this is not Darwin Crater (with the Darwin Glass) which lies in
Tasmania."

You are correct, sorry about that not sure how I could forget Tasmania. It
appears the article is referring to Wolfe Creek crater, aka Wolf Creek.
This crater was discovered by air in 1947. It probley just took till 1950 or
thereabouts to confirm the crater's origin.

Clear Skies,
