Wolf Creek Meteorite Crater

Our first port of call after leaving Fitzroy was Wolf Creek Meteorite Crater. The Crater is found 170 Km South down the Tanami Road just before Halls Creek. An excellent drive with the van and a camp area that was beautiful.

A short walk from where we were camped is the crater and an easy climb got you to the top of it. Nice view of the second largest meteorite crater in the world, the largest on is in the US. The crater is 20m deep but back in the day it was formed used to be 120m deep. Over time the desert winds have blown in sand as is slowly filling it. The crater is thought to be about 300,000 years old.

The above photo is of the bottom of the crater.

Next stop, The Bungle Bungles.
