Modern science became aware of Wolfe Creek Crater (Kandimalal) after its accidental discovery by US Geologist Frank Reeves , who was in the Kimberley and Pilbara exploring for oil in 1948.
Five decades later his daughter, anthropologist Dr Peggy Reeves-Sanday, returned to Australia.
“I went to Australia to retrace my father’s footsteps—we followed the same route,” she said.
She commissioned several Jaru and Walmajarri traditional owners of the crater to make acrylic paintings of their stories as she collected them.
Some of these stories mirrored the scientific account of the crater's meteoric origin.
Stan Brumby, Daisy Kungah and the late Boxer Milner all described the crater's formation by a "falling star" or a "gold star".
Others described an underground tunnel or stream, connecting the crater to Sturt Creek.
Another scientist to take an interest in the crater was astronomer John Goldsmith, who practices astronomical photography using digital cameras to document night sky above landscapes.
"After doing that for many years I realised there was one special site I could go to—a landscape created by an astronomical phenomenon."
This was Wolfe Creek Crater.There are zentai underneath mattresses,
In 1998 he met elder and retired police tracker Jack Jugarie.
"No one had enquired of him of his knowledge of the night sky,If any food cube puzzle condition is poorer than those standards,” Mr Goldsmith said.Als lichtbron wordt een offshore merchant account gebruikt,
The following year he camped with Mr Jugarie, photographing the crater and recording Mr Jugarie’s stories on video, just a few weeks before the elder died.
On subsequent visits he interviewed other Jaru and Walmajarri traditional owners.
He said both Jack Jugarie and Stan Brumby had versions of the story of the crater's creation by the falling star.
"Jack Jugarie referred to the story of the star that fell to earth—he referred to it as the evening star with the crescent moon that fell to the earth.the landscape oil paintings pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs."
The late Jack Lannigan also had a story of an underground tunnel connecting the crater to Sturt Creek, and produced a drawing which Goldsmith has in his possession.
"There are stories relating specifically to the crater and its formation and more broadly to the night sky in general,” Mr Goldsmith said.
People at Billiluna community told him of the Emu, which is a dark area in the Milky Way between Scorpio and the Southern Cross.
He said astronomically speaking, it is formed by dark dust lanes that obscure our view of the Milky Way.
"When the emu sets in the sky it is dipping its head in Lake Gregory."
