"Some stories tell of Aborigines dancing around the meteorite long before a settler, passing that way, attempted to tether his horse to what he thought was a stump protruding from the ground... The first mention of the meteorite resulted from the Melbourne Exhibition held in 1854.  This occasion of the times featured a exhibit of hroseshoe made by a Melbourne farrier from quote "a specimen of iron from Western Port"   Later investigations were to reveal that a small protion of the meteorite had been chiselled off the main mass to forge the horseshoe."
