Hasn't the Shire got enough 'space' already?


Apparently not! Recently a little piece of 'outer-space' was discovered in the East Pilbara... well almost. 

Arthur Hickman has discovered a rare meteorite impact crater in remote Western Australia using free online service Google Earth. Amazingly is the the crater is only 35kms North of Newman - any closer and we may not have had to of dug our swimming pool?!  

Of course the find has earned Mr Hickman both naming and bragging rights.
