The Cranbourne Meteorite
from Melbourne Marvels Hosted by Melbourne Marvels
In the late 1700s an iron meteor the size of a truck broke up and fell over Bunurong country, about 40km south east of the modern city of Melbourne. The event would have been spectacular visually and accompanied by sonic booms and a shock wave. It resulted in a number of large iron meteorites falling in what is now the Cranbourne area.
