Victoria’s forgotten volcano region
Ann Jones

‘I’m biased of course,’ says University of Melbourne seismologist Gary Gibson, who lives in the Victoria’s central goldfields.
Although seismologists generally deal with earthquakes, Gibson has a passion for volcanoes, especially the ones that are right next door to his place.
We’re looking out across a cluster of hills of different sizes; they’re all rounded, covered in pasture and have fences transecting them.
Gold rush-era miners figured out that the gold was below the old lava flows and mined it relentlessly, leaving the area we are standing in scattered with mullock heaps.
