About Victorian Volcanic Plains Geotour

Invermay Park, Victoria

This 3 Day Signature small group personalised Geotour lets you discover the geology, extinct volcanoes, waterfalls, lakes, lava tubes, Aboriginal and early European cultural impacts on these plains to present day Australian lifestyle. The gently undulating volcanic plains of western Victoria are the third largest volcanic plain in the world and are formed of lava flows up to 60 metres thick and are studded with 400 volcanoes which have been erupting over the past five million to eight thousand years ago. You travel to Ballarat to see the ex-volcanoes of the volcanic uplands making up part of the Great Dividing Range. At Hamilton, you see impressive waterfalls and climb the last active volcano in Victoria. In the southern part of the plains you get to see many lakes, which formed after the volcanoes have ceased. The Victorian Volcanic Plains are Australia's most extensive volcanic plains, and are one of the most significant and largest volcanic provinces in the world. The plain stretches across South Western Victoria and South East South Australia. This tour is Ecotourism Certified / Sustainable travel.
