Henbury Meteorite Craters
Address:
Alice Springs, NT, Australia
Category: Parks
Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve, 145 kilometres south west of Alice Springs, contains twelve craters, which were formed when a meteor hit the earth’s surface 4,700 years ago. The Henbury Meteor, weighing several tonnes and accelerating to over 40,000 kilometres per hour, disintegrated before impact, and the fragments formed the twelve craters.
