So, how exactly does that work in Australia? Can the finder keep it? Is the finder reimbursed if the stone is property of the government? I know about the export part of the process, but can an Australian hunter keep his find (or part of it) or must he/she hand it over to the state? I'm unclear on how that works. What if the meteorite is found on private property versus public/government land? PS - there is also a new Martian in the latest Met Bulletin update.
