[edit] size

24m diameter seems very small , needs double check

Yes, 24 m is correct, it's a tiddler! -Zamphuor 13:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discovery details

When upgrading the article today I deleted the earlier statement "The crater was discovered in 1921 by an Aboriginal stockman", because the associated link (http://www.mtmagnet.wa.gov.au/aboutus/visitors/dalgaranga.html) was dead and I can't find any such details elsewhere on this or other web sites. The only published source I have that gives early discovery details (Nininger & Huss 1960) says it was first recognised in 1923 by W.E. Wellard of Dalgaranga Station. It's quite conceivable that the Aboriginal stockman pointed it out to Welland, but does anyone know of a source I can reference. -Zamphuor 13:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
