DORMANT VOLCANOES OF WESTERN VICTORIA

Mount Elephant, Mount Leura, Mount Noorat, Lake Kellambete, Kurweeton Road cones, and Red Rock. There are many more volcanic formations I have yet to film in Victoria. I will edit another video soon. Thanks for watching.

vry nice photography. i would be nice oif you told us which was which as you went though, and where they are.

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Thank you check out description

[@stevemurrell6167]

The dormant volcanoes with no names....I realise you have named them in your description above....but still, on screen naming would have been far more convenient. Other than that, beautiful photography, fascinating views.....thanks!

[@markatmelbournefpv]

On my next visit and video to these dormant volcanoes. I will take your request on-board thank you for your comment 🙏

[@wendymuller8354]

My Grandmother was born near Mt Elephant, and it's a place I've always wanted to see. Thank you Mark, for this stunning video of so many of these beautiful dormant volcanoes many of us didn't even know existed!🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰😍

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Thank you so much for the feedback. I love revisiting these locations they just amazing in our backyard, so to speak. I do have a couple of more videos on my channel of these dormant volcanoes I hope you enjoy them also 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@Stormyday-zg7iz]

Nice footage, spectacular view's of these craters, we just visited Tower Hill and Warnambool, stopped at Camperdown, went up to Mt leura but didn't see the others, went past Mt elephant but road was closed.

[@markatmelbournefpv]

With Mount Elephant, it's only open on a Sunday it's worth the walk up the hill and some magnificent views from the top. And by the way, thank you for your comment

Back in the late 1970s, I worked for the Fisheries and Wildlife of Victoria, Snobb Creek Fish Hatchery and was involved in introducing Salmon into Lake Purembeet.

Very interesting landscapes and a beautiful flight over them. 👍👍👍

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Thank you

[@georgehunter2813]

Hang glide, paraglide, paramotor terrain.

[@erolter]

Yes I agree great footage , tho it would have been nice to know their names I have visited 2 along time ago.

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Thank you..

[@KerinCrowe]

I realise that the prospect of yet another big bang is a quite enthralling one - unfortunately, I live on the slopes of Tower Hill in Koroit and it would rather disturb our peace and quiet without mentioing the discomfort suffered by the birds and extensive Fauna who would be rendered homeless.

[@markatmelbournefpv]

I hope it doesn't happen in our lifetime, but I would have say it would be a magnificent sight

[@tonysobevski9961]

This is Geelong.. I've driven past, always knew there was something different with those mountains..it's in land, bout 30 ks back from the ocean.. starts at Inverleigh goes towards Colac. It's another way to get to the great Ocean road, we just call it. Going the back way.

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Most of these locations are North of the Otway Ranges around 60km a list of locations is in the description

[@gavinmclean3174]

Would have been nice to know where they were but other than that beautiful work. 👍

[@markatmelbournefpv]

They are all in Victoria, Australia. Check out the description google maps locations. All worth a visit. I also have an updated video of these dormant volcanoes. Please check it out and thank you 😊

[@Qz3sv7F2Kb9w]

I wish I could do camping there for a week alone day and night and absorb the starry night & clear sky. 🧖‍♀️💕

[@markatmelbournefpv]

There is no harm in asking the property owner may not let you stay for a week, but hey, give it a go

[@user-ic4zm3gt9x]

I have visited a few times, spectacular.

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Thank you

[@colinmerriman5890]

Would love to see these dormant volcanoes next time I am down in Vic. Amazing camera work 😎😀. Imagine if these volcanoes came back from their long sleep 🤯

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Thank you Colin. It's a nice part of Victoria worth a visit.

[@lukasgibb]

Amazing. You can just imagine them all smoking away while dinosaurs roam the landscape.

[@markatmelbournefpv]

So true we have so many amazing places to visit here in Victoria

[@robshannon6637]

The youngest known eruption was only 6,000 years ago.

[@stevehutchesson1321]

Very classy production, compliments.

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Thank you

[@paullavigne5299]

Wow @0.55 look close! What great place to fly my friend. Jealous! Thanks for the overview. Can tell how the hot spot moved due to plate tectonics

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Thank you

[@gaperiott]

I believe these volcanoes were part of a chain that formed due to hotspot, not tectonic plate boundaries.

[@gryphc3860]

@@gaperiott Hot spot plus tectonics. Ozgeographics has a great recent video on it. ☺️

Thanks for that,my family history is there

Thank you 👍

[@Davofromdownunder65]

I was born not far from there in Casterton, just over the SA border there are more like it, Mount Gambier is actually built inside a volcano crater

[@markatmelbournefpv]

It a magic area i have yet to film around Mount Gambier but its on my list. Thank you for your comment.

[@Davofromdownunder65]

There is also Mount Schank in SA, it’s much smaller than Mt Gambier. I’ve gone past Mount Elephant a few times and around that area there used to be Neolithic stone circles etc, but the early settlers destroyed them

[@user-ng3sz1nd6o]

Would be good to know the names of them so I could visit them

[@markatmelbournefpv]

You can find a list of locations in description hope that helps

[@darrynreid4500]

I don't think it's as widely known as it should be that most of Victoria and into the eastern side of South Australia is the third largest volcanic province in the world. The gold miners were very often digging down through lava flows to get underneath to the ancient river beds containing gold concentrated in the ancient water courses. There's also much more gold buried deep in the ancient rivers underneath volcanics remaining where it was uneconomical to get to it than was ever recovered.

[@markatmelbournefpv]

Very informative. Thank you for your comment

I live in Ballarat but I am wondering which ones these are please? I know Warrenheip is dormant though. Beautiful imagery and video ❤️

Thank you. Mount Elephant and Noorat are the best ones to view.

Did Australia ever properly study these volcanoes, like are they really dormant or had gone extinct?

Yes they done studies that is where I have read about these dormant volcanoes
