So the museum glommed onto the meteorite and kept it. And ol’ Dave got bupkiss! They didn’t even name it after him. But to name it the “D.Hole Meteorite” would not have lent it much shine or sizzle, would it? Good thing his birth name wasn’t Alfred, though.
Little wonder that there have been only 17 meteorites “discovered” in Victoria. Confiscation isn’t a very good incentive for people to turn them in.
