It is accessed via the Tanami Road 150 km (93 mi) south of the town of Halls Creek. The crater is central to the Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater National Park.
The crater averages about 875 metres (2,871 ft) in diameter, 60 metres (200 ft) from rim to present crater floor and it is estimated that the meteorite that formed it had a mass of about 50,000 tonnes,
while the age is estimated to be less than 300,000 years
It was brought to the attention of scientists after being spotted during an aerial survey in 1947, investigated on the ground two months later, and reported in publication in 1949.
The European name for the crater comes from a nearby creek, which was in turn named after Robert Wolfe
early reports misspell the name as Wolf Creek), a prospector and storekeeper during the gold rush that established the town of Halls Creek
HALLS CREEK WA WESTERN AUSTRALIA
caravan trip 2007 Halls Creek (2005 population est. 1300) is a small town situated in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. It is located between the towns of Fitzroy Crossing and Warmun (Turkey Creek) on the Great Northern Highway. Functions The town functions as a support centre for remote cattle stations in the area. For tourists it is the only sizeable town for 600 km on the Great Northern Highway. The town is a major welfare hub for the local indigenous population. Halls Creek is also the administration centre for Halls Creek Shire Council. Tourism For tourists, there are several nearby attractions such as: the China Wall old Halls Creek the Duncan Road Wolfe Creek crater, 200 km to the south on the Tanami Road Purnululu National Park (the Bungle Bungles), 120km to the north. History In the early 20th century, Halls Creek moved 12km west from its original location in 1949 due to flooding in the older town. In those times it was a gold mining town, named after Charles Hall who in 1885 found the alluvial gold that led to the Kimberley gold rush, but gold mining has since ceased. Indigenous population It is home to the indigenous Jaru (Djar-u) and Kija (gKid-ja) peoples as well as some Tjurabalan peoples from the desert to the south of the town. They represent over 60% of the town's population. In 2006, The West Australian newspaper has run a series of articles highlighting the awful state of the Halls Creek indigenous population. The attention received may prompt some action to improve the situation; however, Halls Creek is by no means unusual in this regard, with tens and hundreds of similarly awful indigenous towns and communities in the Pilbara, Kimberley, and other parts of the state.

Sturt Creek
Too many tourists at Wolfe Creek so I cruised down the road and found this great little spot.
The Road to Wolfe Creek
Ignore the date it's irrelevant this was shot November 2015. The Road from Halls Creek to Wolfe Creek was dry on the way out, the dash cam fell off early on the trip out. Here is some footage on the way back when it was wet, will give people an idea of its condition when we did it. Was scarier for us than actually watching Wolf Creek at Wolfe Creek :) Follow the adventures of the Rowe Family as they make their way around Australia at roamingrowes.com

Watching Wolf Creek at Wolfe Creek
Watching Wolf Creek at Wolfe Creek was a treat, that wasn't the scariest part of the expedition; the road to get there was. We actually watched it late at night after the kids were asleep soundly in the car, we slept in a tent that night and it was blowing a gale; All good though we zipped it up ;) Follow more adventures of the Roaming Rowes at roamingrowes.com
YALGOO WA WESTERN AUSTRAL IA PART 2 OF 2
caravan trip 2007 Yalgoo, Western Australia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The townsite of Yalgoo is located in the Murchison region, 499 km north north east of Perth and 118 km east north east of Mullewa. Gold was discovered in the area in the early 1890's, and by 1895 there were 120 men working the diggings and buildings being erected. The goldfield warden asked for a townsite to be surveyed and gazetted, and following survey the townsite of Yalgu was gazetted in January 1896. The spelling Yalgu was used because of spelling rules for Aboriginal names adopted by the Lands & Surveys Department (the letter u best representing the oo sound). Within a month the Lands & Surveys had decided reluctantly to use the original Yalgoo spelling, and this spelling has been used ever since. Some doubt about the spelling being officially changed resulted in an amendment from Yalgu to Yalgoo being gazetted in 1938. Yalgoo is an Aboriginal name first recorded for Yalgoo Peak by the surveyor John Forrest in 1876. The name is said to mean blood or place of blood, derived from the word Yalguru. An alternative view is that it is derived from the Yalguru bush which abounds in the area, and has blood red sap. It was once the location of an important railway station on the Northern Railway, station opened in 1896. Yalgoo's importance declined after the forging of an all weather road between Wubin and Paynes Find during the Post WWII era across Lake Moore. Yalgoo is also a local government area in Western Australia
