Looks like we need to keep an eye on the Curtin team's web site...

Congratulations to Phil and the team.
Fireball crashes into Morawa paddock.
Curtin University researchers have retrieved a meteorite from a paddock in Morawa.
The 1.15kg space rock fell to earth on Halloween night, around 8pm on October 31.
Thanks to information from the public through the Fireballs in the Sky app, and images captured by four Desert Fireball Network cameras Curtin’s team was quickly alerted to the situation and Professor Phil Bland and Dr Martin Tower drove out to the area to begin knocking on doors.
Congratulations to Phil and the team.
