It may also be one that when taken, they felt so overwhelmed that the two planets did become one for them on Earth.

Wolf Creek Crater is located in the Kimberley Region of North-West Australia. It is on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert ( 30 kilometres South of a small town called Halls Creek ) in the Wolf Creek Meteor Crater Reserve. The Crater is situated among low sand hills on a spinifex grass plain. It is a feature that stands out on the flat and almost featureless landscape.

The crater is reputed to be the world's second largest confirmed meteorite crater. Some books state that it is the fourth largest meteorite crater. It has a diameter of 853 metres and is an almost perfect circle The bottom of the crater is 46 metres below the level of the surrounding plain. The walls of the crater are still sharp and complete. They have probably remained that way because of the arid climate.

One to two million years ago in the Pleistocene period a meteorite weighing thousands of tonnes came almost straight down from the north-east, penetrated the desert floor and then exploded with the force of an A-bomb. Experts think this because of the even regular shape of the crater. If it had hit at an angle the crater would be oval and the rim would be of uneven height. Large lumps of weathered iron were found in the years after the crater was discovered. Some weighed over 150 kilograms.

The crater remained undiscovered or unrecognised as a crater until 1947 when it was noticed by an aerial survey. Even today it is rarely visited by tourists as it is accessable by a dirt road best suited to four wheel drive or off road vehicles. Perhaps the best way to see it is from the air but I feel that I would like to stand on the rim or even inside the crater.
