They can be wrong. The place may well be named Wolfe Creek (with "e"),
but the meteorite is oficially named Wolf Creek (without "e").
Wolfe Creek is not even registered as a synonym.

Check the MetBull databse (http://tin.er.usgs.gov/meteor/metbull.php)
and try to find "Wolfe Creek" and "Wolf Creek".
