Nja...Al,

there is room for improvements.

Their names are Brix & Hopper,
I tell it for the rhyme
they found us each a dropper
and had us cost no dime.

Lalala...

I mean, if two dogs are more successful than 8 or more trained scientists
with all the fancy equipment,
then there is certainly still some more room for improvements left.

Also I think, one shouldn't believe too much in certain laws,
I don't think, that after the big lonely meteoricist descended from the
Ayers Rock with the tablets of stone, that these laws are necessarily made
for eternity.
Probably it's only a question of generations. I mean they had there now fun
to test it for a long while, they saw, that it wasn't only good for nothing,
but made everything remarkably worse.
The laws there are simply outdated. We shall overcome.

PS. I fear e.g. in Western Australia it currently even doesn't help, if a
meteorite is found on private ground.
(Perhaps an old deep-rooted reflex of European Middle Ages, that they might
think, that meteorites are so devilish and dangerous, that they better
shouldn't be found, and if it happens though, that they have to be secured
by the authorities, to avoid damage... but I'm no ethnologist)

Hi Martin and all,

They can record the falls but no one is allowed to collect material unless
it falls on private ground ;-) Then no export. Wonder how large the
stations are in Australia?? Are they owned or do they rent the gound for the

ranches from the government?
