Hickman Crater

Hickman Crater was only discovered in July 2007 by Arthur Hickman when he was using Google Earth. Even though it is only 36 kilometres as the crow flies it is actually going to take you about two hours to get there. At the time of discovery, there were no tracks near the crater but due to interest, there is now public access via the Marble Bar Road. The crater is almost circular with a rim diameter of 250-270 metres. The north, east and southern rims are uplifted 15-20 metres above the surrounding plateau surface and 20-30m above the flat crater floor. There is a letterbox at the edge with a visitors book that you can sign to say you have visited the Crater and I also think it is a geocache spot as well. You can go around to the left and there is a track that will take you down into the crater.
