I was Born in Mareebra Queensland, and Lived on Farmland up in Mareebra untill 6years of age..

What got me into Astronomy wasnt the sky there i never notaced it at all at that age, but what i did notace was that there was a black meteorite broken into two peices inside a crater one morning, on our land very close to the house, i remember it was still warm when i found it.. since i found that meteorite i questioned it and it took me into the realm of astronomy.

There where two peices, black in color, it looked kind of what larva looks like when it hardens, cept with some baby craters on it as if it melted and bubbled, they where quite heavy, each was about 2kg's both peices each one about the same size as a tennis ball.

they are gone now unfortnetly, the last one vanished when i was around 18, i am 22 now, i allways kept them well, no idea where it vanished off too.
