Look what I found...
Anyone remember the discovery of Crater Hickman back in 2008:
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/...207065556.html ? Well I was traveling the Kennedy Highway 'virtually' yesterday and spotted this hole in a hill.
I ruled out a few obvious alternate causes such as sink-holes, volcanics, and mining then contacted the same geologist at the ANU who confirmed Crater Hickman. He's put it on the list as a potential discovery has been circulated to those in the game.
What remains is either a field excursion to assess the structure for impact artifacts, or for someone to come up with something like "Oh, yeah, Old Joe dug that 'ole back in the 60's" etc
My next step is to contact Wintonshire Council - there is bound to be a geologist up there that can go kick a rock or two (or local that knows Old Joe!)
The structure is here for anyone to look at and join in the fun speculating:
Lat: 22°13'43.52"S
Long: 142° 3'25.94"E
(and its even on Google street view!)
What else is left for IISSers to discover
