Yep, a classic case of another country not thinking through it's meteorite collecting laws, you ban exports/free trade and strangely enough all the new finds dry up, (while the rocks rust away). There's a lesson there somewhere.

Hi Greg

They certainly look for Australite Tektites on the dry lakes in WA. Australites can be picked up, kept, sold, sold abroad. You can't touch the Meteorites in Australia though. If you find one then report it to the Museum. For this reason I doubt that people go out specifically looking for Meteorites as it would cost a lot for zero reward.
