Wolfe Creek Impact Crater (Kandimalal)

Wolfe Creek in Australia was formed by a giant meteorite that crashed into the earth around 300,000 years ago. The 50,000 tonne meteorite impacted with a speed of 15 km a second, leaving a crater 880 metres across. Wolfe Creek meteorite crater was discovered during an aerial survey in 1947, and scientists have intensively studied the crater. However, the Djaru Aboriginal people, the original inhabitants of the area, have known the crater for thousands of years. They call it Kandimalal and have their own dreamtime story about its creation:
Two rainbow serpents formed Sturt and Wolfe Creek as they crossed the desert, and Kandimalal is the place where one of the serpents emerged from the ground.

And of course it had a horror movie based on the area in 'Wolfe Creek'

Found a great picture of Wolfe Creek

The Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater

Measuring more than 870 meters (2850 feet) across and 50 meters (164 feet) deep, the Wolfe Creek Crater is the second largest rimmed meteorite crater in the world. The largest crater with a discernible rim formed by the impact is Meteor Crater in Arizona. Dating techniques establish Wolfe Creek Crater as the older, at around 300,000 years, while Meteor Crater is about 50,000 years old.

The Wolfe Creek Crater is located in the flat plains of the northeastern edge of the Great Sandy Desert, some 90 kilometers (miles) south of the town of Halls Creek and about an hour's drive from the nearby Aboriginal community of Billiluna.

Tourism at Wolfe Creek apparently dropped after the release of the horror movie based at the location. When you see the remoteness and the length of time it takes to get there you can probably understand the reluctance to visit the place. On the other hand, imagine being somewhere so remote with no people and no noise.
