Murchison Heritage Centre
The varied and surprising history of Murchison district is represented in a growing collection of documents and historical items housed in the Heritage Centre.
A truly spectacular event in the town's history was a meteor shower in 1969 when fragments of the rarest known type of meteorite fell over a wide area. An American analyst discovered five chemical components found in the genes of all living matter, increasing the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. A range of news cuttings from the event can be viewed on the information boards, and a good specimen of the Murchison meteorite can be viewed in the Murchison Heritage Centre.
