I believe it is HARRP. Also the person that quoted that bacchus marsh contains volcanoes, please dont say that i also have a place in Bacchus Marsh that backs right onto the lerderderg state forest/wombat state and a quick google search told me that volcanic activity used to be there. i hope its just my mind and not HARRP [/quote] well it is true.. ever wondered why bacchus marsh is like a small valley?? surrounded by hills etc?? Victoria, Australia 37.6 S, 144.4 E Lava-field province Older volcanics province Location and Volcanic Features Leederberg State Park is 75 km NW of Melbourne. Bacchus Marsh Volcano is a NW trending graben (20 km EW, 5 km NS) It contains 160 m thick lava flows fed by dykes. Eruptions of Bacchus Marsh Volcano Bacchus Marsh Volcano Eruptions 55-64 million years ago VICTORIA'S volcanoes are overdue for an eruption, according to research that has dated the age of the cones, craters and lava flows in the state's west with increased precision. Using the latest dating techniques, scientists at the University of Melbourne established that, on average, the small volcanoes dotted from western Victoria to South Australia erupted every 2000 years. The last eruption at Mount Gambier was more than 5000 years ago and Bernie Joyce, of the university's school of earth sciences, said that, statistically speaking, we were due for another. The volcanoes that dot the landscape between Melbourne and Mount Gambier are monogenetic volcanoes - once-off volcanoes that deliver relatively small eruptions. There are 40 alone between Melbourne and Bacchus Marsh, with the last volcano to erupt in Victoria being Mount Napier, south of Hamilton Read more: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/volcanoes-due-to-erupt-20110705-1h0s4.html#ixzz1yJhMMutm [/quote]
