Towns of the Craters & Limestone Precinct include:
Mount Gambier, Millicent, Penola, Port MacDonnell,
Coonawarra, Allendale East, Tantanoola, Glencoe,
Mount Burr, Carpenter Rocks
1. Mt Burr Range (B3)
Mt Burr Range contains 15 volcanic eruption points, and is much older than the
nearby Mount Gambier and Mt. Schank, ranging from 20,000 to two million
years old. The Booandik Aboriginal people of this region hold the memory of
the eruptions in their legend of a giant ancestor, Craitbul, who fled from the
Mt Burr area only to have his ovens extinguished by the rising groundwaters
four times, (the four craters near Mount Gambier). Mount Muirhead was
another oven of the giant.
2. Mt Muirhead (A2)
Spectacular views can be obtained from the lookout opposite Mt Muirhead
located approximately 6km from Millicent where you can see across to the town
and further south to the Canunda National Park and extensive wind farms.
Mt Muirhead is privately-owned and public access is not permitted.
3. Mt McIntyre (B2)
Located 20 kms from Millicent is another member of the Mt. Burr Group.
Bushwalkers, cyclists and horse riders use the forest roads and track network
extensively. Permits are needed for horse riding, caving, wildlife studies and
firewood collection. There are a number of beautiful picnic spots in the forest,
but camping is not permitted. Roads may not be suitable for all vehicles.
4. Lake Leake (B3)
Lake Leake features a wide, open crater with a low, gently sloping ash ring,
and is open to the public all year round. Fishing, boating, windsurfing, power
boating and water skiing are permitted. There are boat-launching facilities and it
is used by an Aquatic Club from time to time for races.
5. Lake Edward (C3)
Lake Edward is a volcanic lake where the crust has cracked open and been
tilted leaving bulbous lobes of lava that were squeezed out of the cracks. Lake
Edward is set amongst gum plantations, pine forests and re-vegetated areas
with a boardwalk and panoramic views, ideal to view bird life and enjoy
a picnic.
6. Tantanoola Cave (B3)
A single chamber cave, known for its scenic beauty, pink dolomite caverns and an
array of unusual speleothems, it has comfortable wheelchair access for visitors.
7. Coonawarra (D1)
Coonawarra is an Aboriginal word meaning “Honeysuckle”. It is renowned as
one of Australia’s finest wine regions and is particularly known for producing
world class red wines, especially Cabernet Sauvignon. Its secret lies in a magical
marriage of rich red terra rossa soil, limestone, pure underground water and a
long cool ripening season for the grapes.
8. Canunda National Park (A4)
Canunda is a large region of high coastal dunes built up on the limestone plains
by the relentless power of the Southern Ocean. Protected behind the dunes is
Lake Bonney, South Australia’s largest freshwater lake. Canunda is 4WD access
only onto the vast sandy ocean beaches.
9. Mount Gambier Blue Lake (D4) and 10. Valley Lakes Complex (D4)
This volcanic area, estimated to have been formed some 28,000 years ago
over two closely spaced periods, incorporates Blue Lake, Valley Lake, Brownes
Lake and Leg of Mutton Lake. The Blue Lake is world famous due to its unique
colour change from sombre winter steel grey to brilliant turquoise blue between
November and March each year. It is also the source of water for the City
of Mount Gambier which flanks the volcanic crater. Start at the Blue Lake
Reception Centre where interpretive signage describes the features of the Mount
Gambier Crater Lakes Complex. The 3.6km road and walking track around the
circumference provides access to many marvellous views. It is a popular place for
all ages with its picnic areas and undercover shelters, free barbecues, adventure
playground and the Valley Lake Wildlife Park and Boardwalk which is also free of
charge and open to dusk each day.
11. Engelbrecht Cave (D4)
This complex limestone cave runs under the city itself and was first explored
around 1884. Highly trained cave divers regularly explore this extensive wet cave
system which has hidden water-filled chambers under the City.
12. Cave Garden (D4)
State Heritage Area situated in the centre of the city, this sinkhole was the original
source of water supply for the early settlers. Famous for its roses, the Cave Garden
is a great place for a picnic. Its beauty and significance can be appreciated from
the viewing areas whilst experiencing the free nightly sound and light show.
Towns of the Plateaus and Falls Precinct include:
Casterton, Coleraine and Hamilton.
13. Umpherston Sink Hole (D4)
This sinkhole was created when the top of the chamber fell to the floor of the cave,
creating the perfect environment for its “sunken garden” & resident possums who
venture out on dusk.
14. Mt Schank (D5)
Mt Schank, located 10 minutes’ drive south of Mount Gambier is considered to
be the youngest volcano in Australia (6,000 years). Protruding 159 metres above
sea level, it is very prominent above the limestone plain. Interpretive signage
explains the volcanic significance of this site and provides information on the two
adventurous walks, one to the top of the volcano, the other descending steeply to
the crater floor. The rim offers fantastic views of the surrounding limestone plains,
coast and the nearby volcanic formations, lava flows and a small cone on the
southern side which is believed to have been formed as the first stage.
15. Ewens Ponds (D6)
Ewens Ponds Conservation Park incorporates a small bush land park & the 3 ponds
which feed Eight Mile Creek. Snorkel or dive the underwater gardens to explore the
fascinating natural springs which bubble up through the limestone at the bottom
of the ponds.
16. Piccaninnie Ponds (E6)
Snorkel, walk, camp or observe the natural wonder of Piccaninnie Ponds
Conservation Park where the crystal clear water makes its way to the surface after
filtering slowly underground through a 100metre deep limestone canyon. A world
renowned cave diving site (permits are available to certified divers only).
63. Woakwine Cutting (just off map to the west)
A series of ancient parallel dune limestone ranges were left by the sea’s retreat over
the last million years. Woakwine Dune was cut to drain the swamplands behind it
and the deep cutting reveals the complex layering within a 300,000-year old dune.
64. Beachport (just off map to the west)
Featuring the Pool of Siloam and one of South Australia’s longest jetties, Beachport
is a haven sheltered behind rugged extensive limestone cliffs pounded by the
Southern Ocean.
65. Cape Northumberland (C6)
Ruins of a historic lighthouse rest above dramatic eroded limestone cliffs with
exposed strata and which shelter a penguin colony. Sweeping views show where
the pounding sea has shaped Frog Rock, Camel Rock and Rhino Rock above
extensive limestone reefs.
21A, 21B & 21C. Dundas Tablelands (H2, I2 & J2)
3 sweeping views across the Dundas Tablelands above Casterton at Mackwoods
Lane lookout (21A) and along the road near Coleraine (21B & 21C) show where the
Wannon River has cut deeply into the ironstone-capped Tablelands, forming high,
wide plateaus, which drop away to the south and west along the Kanawinka Fault.
22. The Points Arboretum (J2)
Located at Coleraine, this contains over 10,000 plants including 63 rare and
endangered species. Its Eucalypt collection is a renowned botanical reference for the
native vegetation that complements the Kanawinka region’s geology and soils.
23. Wannon Falls (J3)
The Wannon Falls were created by lava flows that surged upstream to the Wannon
River. The water which cascades over a 30-metre vertical precipice into a deep plunge
pool below, is actually flowing over hardened basalt lava. Further downstream,
rapids wind their way around large blocks of basalt, dislodged over time down the
embankments of the narrow valley. A cantilevered viewing platform at the Wannon
Falls offers spectacular views. A nearby rotunda features interpretative signage for
visitors, covering geology, flora & fauna, Koori history and details of colonial artists
who painted in the area. Camping facilities are available at Wannon Falls.
24. Nigretta Falls (K2)
It is thought that the site where the Nigretta Falls are found may have been the
location of a super volcano about 450 million years ago. It has excellent river walks,
viewing areas, barbecue facilities, red gum picnic tables and a jarrah timber stairway
leading to the base of the falls.
61. Baileys Rocks (G1)
Baileys Rocks are an unusual group of large green-coloured granite boulders which
are part of a long series of outcrops through the Dundas Tablelands & the Padthaway
Ridge to the west. They formed before the separation of Australia from Antarctica.
Enjoy an Aussie lunch at “The Pub in the Bush” at Dergholm.
62. Giant Rock (I1)
Giant Rock extruded through the Dundas crust as a huge volcanic plug of altered
trachyte of the Jurassic Coleraine Volcanic Group. It formed from magma which
cooled slowly deep in the crust and contains many small crystal grains. It is on private
property but can be viewed via a 1km walking trail available to the public. A much
smaller plug is along the road near by.
Towns of the Coasts and Caves Precinct include:
Portland, Nelson, Dartmoor, Cape Bridgewater
and Heywood.
17. Princess Margaret Rose Cave (E5)
Of the many limestone caves in Lower Glenelg National Park, the Princess
Margaret Rose Cave is the most attractive and the only cave suitable for public
use. It contains excellent examples of actively growing stalactites, stalagmites,
helictites and other spectacular limestone formations, all contained within an
elegant vertical rift which cuts across a large bend of the Glenelg River. You
can take a beautiful river gorge cruise to the cave and have lunch amongst the
kangaroos of the forest in its natural habitat.
18. Glenelg River Gorge (F5)
The Glenelg River rises in the Grampians and winds 400km to the sea, over
its last 15 km carving a 50m deep spectacular gorge through limestone. The
river offers excellent opportunities for flat water canoeing over the 75 km from
Dartmoor, to its mouth near Nelson. For much of this distance, the river flows
through the Lower Glenelg National Park, enabling water enthusiasts to observe
wildlife in its natural habitat.
A river cruise is available from Nelson near the river mouth, travelling upstream
between the cliffs of the limestone gorge which was cut downwards by the river
as the broad limestone plain was slowly uplifted by regional forces of very deep
magma beneath. Sail past Donovans Landing and the Isle of Bags. The fishing
town of Nelson is a delightful place to relax and watch the life of the river where
it meets the estuary.
19. Cape Bridgewater and Bridgewater Bay (H8)
Situated 18 km from Portland and overlooking beautiful Bridgewater Bay was
once a volcanic Island. About 8,000 years ago, rising sea levels built a bridge of
sand dunes between Cape Bridgewater Volcanic Island and the mainland. Over
time, rainfall and groundwater have hardened these into dunes of
sandy limestone.
Bridgewater Bay is such a long and beautiful curved ocean beach that it is often
photographed for commercials from the sweeping lookout. A five kilometre
walking trail takes the visitor to Victoria’s highest sea cliff –
Cape Bridgewater itself where a platform looks down on a seal colony in the
large sea cave below and across to the solid buttress of Cape Nelson.
The walk continues along dark basalt cliffs to the Blowhole at Cape Duquesne
and can be walked in either direction.
20. Tarragal Caves (H8) and Mt Richmond (H7)
Tarragal Caves are undercuts in ancient dune limestone with spectacular views
overlooking Cape Duquesne, the Bridgewater Lakes and Discovery Bay, areas
also noted for ancient aboriginal middens.
An extinct volcano surrounded by low, flat land. Mt Richmond consists not
of basalt but of porous rock called tuff, which was formed when the volcanic
ash gradually hardened over two million years ago. Apart from the occasional
outcrops of basalt near the summit, the volcanic geology is almost entirely
buried by dune limestone and sand blown inland long ago from Discovery Bay.
Noted for its flora and fauna, the park is covered with forest, open heath and
scattered swamps. Various walks and picnic areas are available.
58. Petrified Forest (H8)
A walk from The Blowholes leads past the ‘Petrified Forest’ which is thought to
have developed when a Moonah forest was smothered by a large sand dune,
creating unusual sandstone formations around the decaying tree trunks.
59. Cape Nelson, Yellow Rock and Lawrence Rocks (I8)
Large basalt flows have formed the base of the Cape and the Island, which are
both capped by wind-blown sands now hardened into limestone sheets. The
bay itself is actually a field of volcanic cones and craters now submerged by
the sea. There are three lookouts around the bay, starting from the lighthouse.
The white cover of Lawrence Rocks is actually a huge colony of yellow-headed
gannets, safe on top of the island. Now so well protected, they have also
colonised Cape Grant on the mainland opposite.
60A, 60B & 60C. The Kanawinka Fault (G5, G6 and G7)
The large Kanawinka Fault runs for over 100 kilometres across the Geotrail
and gives it its name. It can be seen along the Greenwald/Winnap road
(60A), at Keegan’s Bend lookout (60B) and Hedditch Hill (60C) where the
volcanic uplands of the east drop away to the vast limestone and dune plains
to the west.

Towns of the Cones and Flows Precinct include:
Hamilton, Penshurst, Macarthur, Hawkesdale,
Woolsthorpe, Caramut, Heywood, Koroit,
Port Fairy.
25. Tumuli (K5)
13 kilometres west of the Byaduk Caves are circular mounds or hummocks of
rock called “Tumuli” or “Lava Blisters” up to 10 metres high and 20 metres in
diameter, rarely found in volcanics of the world.
26. Harman’s Valley (K5)
The Harman’s Valley lava flow is one of the youngest lava flows dated on the
continent. A spectacular lava fountain several hundred metres high roared up
from a lava lake in Mt Napier’s crater approximately 8,000 years ago. The lava
rose from a depth of over 30km and its temperature was about 1200 degrees
Celsius. It flowed in four directions, and the westerly flow, down Harman’s
Valley, extends for approximately 24km.
27. Byaduk Caves (K4)
The Byaduk Caves in Mt Napier State Park are the most extensive and
accessible set of lava caves in Australia. Being so young (only 8,000 years),
they are largely unweathered and in their natural state. The caves are accessed
through collapsed roof sections and display many well-preserved features left
by the retreating and cooling lava. The largest tunnels are up to 18 metres
wide, 10 metres high, and extend to depths of 20 metres below the surface.
28. Mt Napier (L4)
Approximately 20km south of Hamilton lies Mount Napier, the youngest
volcano in Victoria and the highest volcanic point in the Western District Plains,
with many eruption and lava flow features that are remnants from the last
stages of volcanic activity 10,000 years ago. Some lava flows reach as far as the
sea between Port Fairy and Portland. Mount Napier is best attempted with a
4WD. There are a number of dry stone wall sites around Mt Napier State Park.

Mt Rouse is a massive accumulation of scoria, with several craters, rising 100
metres above the surrounding volcanic plain and is an excellent vantage point
to view the adjacent volcanoes of Mt Eccles and Mt Napier.
30, 31 & 32. Mt Eccles/Budj Bim Lava Flow/Lake Condah (K6, J7 & J6)
Budj Bim is the name given to Mt Eccles by the Gunditjmara indigenous
traditional owners, whose ancestors saw it beginning around 20,000 - 30,000
years ago. Large wetlands were created from the lava flows which formed
Lake Condah, where the local Gunditjmara harvested eels and fish, using the
stones to construct elaborate channels, weirs, fish-traps, wind breaks and
stone huts. It is an area of local and national significance as it is considered
to be Australia’s earliest and largest aquaculture venture and the only place
in Australia where indigenous people built permanent housing. The Budj Bim
National Heritage Landscape was National Heritage Listed in 2004.
33. Lady Julia Percy Island (L8)
Lady Julia Percy Island, located just off the coast of Port Fairy, is a low, flat
island built of submarine basalt flows up to 7.8 million years old. This is the
only major basalt island off the western Victorian coast, and the island is home
to mutton-bird colonies, fairy penguins, lizards, sea birds, crayfish, sharks and
23,000 Australian fur seals; the largest colony in the southern hemisphere.
34. Tower Hill (M7) and Interpretation Centre (N8)
Tower Hill Game Reserve, 15 kilometres west of Warrnambool features a deep
circular crater formed some 25,000 years ago and is one of the largest maars
in the world, formed when a hot rising basaltic magma came into contact
with the subterranean water table. The violent explosion that followed created
the funnel-shaped crater which later filled with water to form a lake and the
islands that can be observed today.
The Worn Gundidj Aboriginal Cooperative run an Interpretation Centre within
the crater which displays the history of this complex maar volcano and provides
fascinating guided walks.
35. Hopkins Falls (O8)
The Hopkins River pours over a beautiful basalt escarpment at Wangoom. In
winter and spring the viewing is spectacular. For a couple of weeks in late
summer it is sometimes possible to see baby eels (elvers) climbing the falls.
Towns of the Lakes and Craters Precinct include:
Colac, Camperdown, Lismore, Derrinallum, Terang,
Skipton, Mortlake, Lake Bolac, Darlington.
36. Mt Shadwell (Q6)
Mt Shadwell is a scoria cone with a commercial quarry. Within the quarry it is
possible to fossick for olivine, a pale green crystal found in volcanic “bombs”
thrown out during violent volcanic eruptions.
37. Mt Noorat (Q6)
Mt Noorat is named after local aboriginal elder Ngoora and was a traditional
meeting and bartering place for the Kirrae Wuurong people. It is a scoria cone with
complex eruption point topography, & its central feature is an entire circular crater.
38. Lake Keilambete (Q7)
Lake Keilambete is a near perfectly circular lake of national significance. The very
saline water is reputed to have therapeutic value.
39. Lake Bullen Merri (R7)
Lake Bullen Merri is a 490ha lake enclosed in a volcanic crater located on the
outskirts of Camperdown. A large and complex multiple maar; the lake system is of
international significance and has a richly documented Aboriginal Heritage.
40. Lake Gnotuk (R7)
Lake Gnotuk has formed in a single maar crater. Maar lakes such as this rely on
groundwater seeping into the lake and have no outlet. As a result evaporation has
caused Lake Gnotuk to become twice as salty as sea water.
41. Mt Leura (S7)
Mt Leura is a beautiful cone and maar system, part of a large volcanic complex.
From the top there are excellent views across the volcanoes of the whole eastern
Kanawinka Geotrail landscape.
42. Mt Sugarloaf (S7)
Mt Sugarloaf is a steep conical accumulation of scoria rising as a high point on
the same crater rim as Mt Leura. It formed as a result of lava fountaining from the
same point in the crater, building an ever-increasing pile of scoria.
43. Lake Purrumbete (S7)
Lake Purrumbete is a large maar lake which contains a fresh water lake around
22m deep. It is a highly regarded fresh water fishing spot and is stocked with
rainbow and brown trout and chinook salmon.
44. Mt Porndon (S7)
Almost a perfect cone, Mt Porndon rises from a complex of lava flows, tuff
deposits, scoria cones and craters. Several basalt flows are evident and the
youngest of these flows has formed a lava disc roughly 3km in diameter with
a rocky wall between 10 and 15m in height. This lava disc is the largest of its
kind in Australia. The crater of Mt Porndon is around 15m deep and is open to
the west.
45. Stony Rises (S7)
One of the most prominent stony rises in Victoria the area is characterised by its
rocky and undulating landscape. Ridges and depressions up to 15metres high or
deep formed when liquid lava broke through the hardened outer skin of molten
lava; the outer skin then sagged and collapsed. Areas of peat bogs, formed in
depressions over thousands of years, small swamps and wetlands combine to
make this an amazing and diverse landscape.
46. Lake Bolac and Mt Wyvern (P3)
Lake Bolac was formed when Mt Wyvern, a very low angle lava cone just to the
south, blocked the local streams about 1 million years ago. The town is famous
for an annual Eel Festival associated with the lake.
47. Mt Hamilton (Q3)
Mt Hamilton is a very good example of a tertiary basalt cone with enclosed crater
and features three lava caves with unusual branching passages. Its eruption
diverted Fiery Creek westwards into Lake Bolac. Mt Hamilton is on private
property.
48. Mt Widderin (T3)
Mt Widderin is a broad low dome with lava flows and stony rises to the south
and west, where details are observable in road cuttings. This private property
features a sizeable 2-chamber lava cave with a rich local history which is open
one day per year for local project fundraising (see website).
49. Mt Elephant (S5)
Mt Elephant is one of the most prominent volcanoes in Australia, and is often
referred to as the “swagman’s lighthouse” of Victoria’s western district. It is
listed on the Register of the National Estate by the National Trust of Australia
as “one of the highest and one of the major scoria cones in the largest
homogenous volcanic plains on earth”.
50. Lake Corangamite (U6)
Lake Corangamite, RAMSAR listed and Victoria’s largest inland lake, has a surface
area of 234 square km and a circumference of about 150 km, stretching northsouth for 32 km. Normal salinity is saltier than the sea but in dry conditions, the
water becomes hyper saline. Even in this state, masses of brine shrimp survive and
provide food for seasonal water birds.
51. Red Rock (U7)
Over 40 eruption points have been determined in the internationally significant Red
Rock volcanic complex. There are 7 major crater lakes within the scoria cones. Red
Rock lookout, near Alvie, north of Colac, provides 360-degree views of other volcanic
features including Mts Elephant, Porndon and Sugarloaf, and Lake Corangamite.
52. Floating Islands (T7)
Water has partly-filled a series of collapsed lava flows in “stony rise” country. Peat
masses drift with the wind across the small lakes in wet seasons. The area has
many dry stone walls constructed by early settlers.
53, 54 & 55. Lakes Colac, Bookar and Tooliarook (U7, R6 & S5)
Many lakes in this vicinity occupy shallow craters or wetlands created by lava
flow diversions and blockages. Lake Bookar is a RAMSAR listed site renowned for
birdlife while Lakes Colac and Tooliarook are popular for boating and fishing.
56A, 56B & 56C. Dry Stone walls (Q6, R5 & T7)
The western plains of Victoria are among the world’s greatest basalt plains, where
the many lava flows have weathered into broken volcanic stone fields. Using
these, early settlers from England, Scotland and Ireland built many dry stone walls
in the mid-nineteenth century for crops, livestock, to contain rabbit plagues and
for protection against fire. Corangamite Arts have established the Corangamite
Dry Stone Walls Heritage Trail and their brochures cover 10 sections of the
most diverse and significant walls in the precinct, including Kolora to the west
of Mt Noorat (56A), to the west of Mt Elephant near Derrinallum (56B) and at
Pomborneit amongst the Stony Rises (56C). They have also published the book
“If these Walls Could Talk”, available at the Visitor Information Centres.
57. Lake Terang (Q7)
Lake Terang is dry Crater Lake of State significance; encircled by a walking track.

The Kanawinka region gets its name from the geological
fault that stretches from Portland (Victoria) to Naracoorte
(South Australia). Kanawinka is an Aboriginal term meaning
‘Land of Tomorrow’. The area is also internationally
recognised as the Kanawinka Global Geopark.
RD
Aboriginal people have inhabited this region for up to
45,000 years. The region features prominently in stories
of the ‘The Dreaming’ and stones from the lava flow were
used by local language groups to construct channels linking
the wetlands, weirs, fish-traps, wind breaks and stone huts.
Excellent examples created by the Gunditjmara people can
be found around the Lake Condah region.

Later, European settlers constructed dry stone walls in
order to enclose crops and stock. Many examples can be
found around Camperdown along the Dry Stone Walls
Heritage Trail.

The Kanawinka landscape of southwest Victoria and
southeast South Australia is a striking contrast of sweeping
limestone plains studded with remarkable sinkholes and
caves, spectacular mountains and extensive lava flows.
FAULKNERS
Australia may be referred to as a relatively
young nation, but the well preserved ancient
landscape provides many precious windows
into the past. The Kanawinka Geotrail takes
you on a surprising journey through Australia’s
most extensive volcanic province, with over 60
sites enabling visitors to travel back in time over
thousands of years.
