I've been reading "Henbury Craters and Meteorites" by Svend Buhl and Don McColl - a Tucson Gem Show purchase - and learned that the name given to Henbury by the Aborigines was "chindu chinna waru chingi yabu", which translates to the MetName. My brother once had a dog he named Chingona, and we called her Chingi, but that derived from Mexican and is another story altogether.
I got this here Devil Rock from Robert Wesel of Nakhla Dog Metorites.
