Just another bit, from MetBase 7.1 (c) Joern Koblitz, about Mundrabilla 020:

"A single fusion crusted stone of about 60 grams was found by a "rabbit hunter" in the same area where the large masses of the Mundrabilla iron were found, perhaps 15 km N of the railway. The stone is informally known as G'Day. On the basis of the abundance of carbonaceous clasts, this meteorite is probably not paired with Mundrabilla 018 and is possibly paired with Old Homestead 001, J.N.Grossman, Met. Bull. 82, MAPS, 1998, 33, p.A221. Mineralogy and chemical composition of carbonaceous chondrite clasts, M.E.Zolensky et al., MAPS, 1996, 31, p.518."
