High in the skies on 28 September 1969, above the town of Murchison, the legendary Murchison Meteorite exploded. The meteorite was said to be around 4.5 billion years old.
Visit Meteorite Park to read the informative newspaper clippings about the Murchison Meteorite. There is a sheltered area and picnic table, and the Park is located a short walking distance from nearby shops and cafes, playground and public toilets.
Towards the back of the park stretch your legs and your mind as you reflect along the meteorite labyrinth.

Not a huge amount to see here. There's a picnic area, covered shelter and some information boards on the meteorite crash. The 'Meteorite Park' is very small can be easily missed. Not worth going out of your way to visit, but if in the area and have 5 minutes, take a brief look.
Some interesting bits, but wouldn't go out my way to visit this unfortunately.

Not a lot here. A covered shelter, a picnic table and some information boards. Definitely no meteorite however some history around the 1969 meteorite which fell to earth nearby. Across the road there are four cows from the Shepparton Mooovable Art project.

A great place to meet to start our adventure ride. Murchison is a very attractive country town right on the banks of the Goulburn river. The bakery is tops, the garden ornaments shop has an extensive range and the boutique Longleat Winery has first class wines.

Great place for a picnic if you are passing through town. Toilets available. Lovely view or the Goulburn River.
Very close to bakery and general store too.

Really lame display for what was an incredibly important scientific discovery. The exhibit is worse than a primary school kid poster. Get your act together Murchison.
