The Karoonda (S.A.) Meteorite of Nov. 25, 1930

Abstract

AT 10.53 P.M. on the evening of Nov. 25 an extremely brilliant fire-ball was seen by many observers in South Australia. It was observed at Port Lincoln on the west coast, Wirrappa (94 miles north-west of Port Augusta), Mount Gambier in the south-east of South Australia, Murrayville in Victoria, and Broken Hill in New South Wales, the radius of observation being thus well over 250 miles.
