The "bloody steep" expression put a grin on my face. Now that's some bloody good documentary language!😆
Its awesome to hear more Australian accents on TH-cam, especially on 'serious' channels that don't just involve gravity or hitting things with other things while wildly gesticulating and jabbering in monosyllables lol
I hear you.
I take it you aren't a fan of How Ridiculous
😂Where is our Aussie accent? That's a yank😂
i'm hearing a bit of Victorian or eastern states accent
@@Susan-md6nd wat? He's from Victoria. That's a very obvious Australian accent. Can you not hear that?
Mt Buninyong is my grandfathers hometown. Lots of family and history there. We grew up knowing all about the volcano 😊
👏👏👏🏆🎖️
Funny because I worked there and was an avid gold detecter. Wish I had known about this because chances are it spat gold out there somewhere. 😂
I am from the Wombat Forrest area. Yandoit just passed Hepburn Springs.... Just at the foot of the Mount Franklin volcano
Also we spent a lot of time near Koroit, near Warrnambool. There is a awesome volcano. Tower Hill
You Aboriginal mate.
Me and some workmates went up Mt. Buninyong to watch the total solar eclipse in 1976. It messed the birds up, no end. Off to sleep, then awake 10 minutes later. Anyone who has a chance to observe a total eclipse with plenty of wildlife around them should do that.
How often does that occur in Australia?
@@the-naked-sailor Australia is about the same land area of the lower 48 states of the US, so about the same occurrence. There's one every 2-4 years or so somewhere in Australia.
I remember that event well.
Was with my dad at home (Blackhill) fitting a rolladoor to the garage when the world went dark. There we stood on ladders waiting for the light to return. Was odd hearing the roosters and dogs carrying on.
Australia’s Volcanoes by Russell Ferrett is a good read for those who want to go into the subject further. It was a the time of publication the only book about volcanoes in Australia.
My sister and I explored the Undara Lava Tubes. Absolutely amazing place to visit.
Awesome nature right in our beautiful country's back yard
Great content and very informative on geology that is mostly ignored. Cheers
Thanks for watching and commenting :) I appreciate it!
I live on a farm and can walk out my back door and look across at mount napier in western victoria. If it ever erupts again life will get interesting.
It stopped erupting not long ago.
Great to hear an aussie accent here on YT well researched and presented indeed. NSW here.
Hey man like your content, Grew up in western VIC so know a lot of your locations and learn heaps, can you do something on the Grampians my son loves Halls Gap & is for ever asking me how they old the mountains are & how they were created. Thanks.
Will do! Thanks for commenting, the Grampians would be a great topic to cover.
Like Mt Langhi Ghiran a.k.a. The Pregnant Lady? Grew up in Ararat after Ash Wednesday destroyed Cockatoo until 16yo and moved to sleepy old Perth
I was actually at the Grampians not long ago, love the place
@@OzGeologyOfficialyes also all the other volcanoes in South West Victoria there's at least 14 within 200km
Walking around at Tower Hill yesterday with my wife, I was explaining to her that of all the many foamy emissions life has to offer, basalt with lots of vesicles is one of my favourites.
Sounds like you got a keeper my friend!
Mt Warrenheip can be seen from many vantage points around Ballarat. One of the best views is from the Western side of Lake Wendouree, looking east.
Good tip!
@@OzGeologyOfficialthat produced the gold in the triangle in Melbourne like the mc quarried ridge in NSW produced all theregold? Cause the Phillipines has lots of gold from volcanic activity,,see,Gympie had volcanic activity,that produced the gold there,it had a geopolymer polygonal stoned step pyramid too🆗,this cannot be debated cause they took the geopolymer off it to use as a fence around the old church there,your a geologist yeah?do you know how much old world structures were made out of geo?why did you show earth as a ball when it's flat? geopolymer is made from sodium silicate,or natron,calcium carbonate,ground stone and water,sometimes,as in south American T stones it's magnetic and sometimes it's got bat guano in south America,half of Giza is not actually stone it's geopolymer too,like the basalt and casing stone sandstone, I am not aware of Victoria pyramids but on old photos at a couple of mines there was a couple massive obelisks,and the mine managers didn't pay a million dollars to effect 150 tonne obelisks I can promise you 🆗✋👍💉💀👽🚀👾🌀🌪️👁️🦉🐦🦜🐓🐤🦆🦢🦩🦅🐉🐲🐍
Lots of plant fossils were found in the deep leads. Mostly seeds and fruits. There was a good collection at Ballarat College (now Federation University), and also Museum of Victoria and they showed the area was rainforest with trees now found in QLD and NZ. Might be worth a video.
This clipping tells of a frozen and buried wool mammoth in close proximity to 4 other large animals.

wool mammoth buried in close proximity to other animals, all frozen in time
You mean University of Ballarat. Ballarat College was a group of 3 high schools (Ballarat east, Wendouree and Midlands(later moved to Barkley st)) now reverted back to wendouree and east however I believe they changed the names of those two campuses and closed Barkley st.
That's so interesting, thank you....is the fault line of those volcanoes in Victoria connected to the Blue Lake volcano situated at Mt Gambier just over the border there ❓
Cheers to you 🤟🎶
I love your channels Oz! They’re amazing! 1st
Thanks so much! I appreciate you immensely!
Right at the end of the video you mentioned a lot of dead trees on the hill. Well I noticed the same thing at Mount Gambier, also on a small volcano, just over the SA border.
Possibly sulfur leakage, a trapped pocket may have made its way to the surface.
They didn't do their research on the blue lake.
Mt warning no dead trees But plenty of tree clearing,
Isn’t the blue lake an extinct volcano?..🐈⬛😎🇦🇺
@@johnjewell219 yes
I lived in Bundella NSW and as a child on the farm use to find Volcanic Rocks and Petrified Wood Samples.
Thanks for this informative post. We're a bit to close if it erupts again 🥴 While spectacular, it would be a little too scary.
Awesome mate any chance can you do one on the hummock in Bundaberg Queensland???
I like volcanoes. They have the word “canoes” in them. Canoes are fun.
Agreed, canoes are fun indeed!
Here in NZ most of the scoria is red and some of it was used as ballast for the railway line in Northland.
Anthony
OH WHAT, i live in Mt Buninyong, been here for 13yrs, this is so random and cooool, i just clicked on this vid coz i was bored haha and never thought it would have here in it
Have you looked into Euroka Clearing near Glenbrook in the Blue Mountains? I'm told it is an old volcanic crater.
Have you ever looked into mt warning on the far nth coast of nsw. Which is only the plug of an ancient shield volcano?
Fascinating. As a former geological engineer I love this. Thanks for posting.
A close family member lives in Buninyong - such a pretty town ! She took us up to the top of it two weeks ago and we climbed the fire-tourist tower for a better view of the area. That scoria and basalt/bluestone are spread across the Western Plains to Melbourne. I live near an old basalt quarry, now turned into a lake and bush park. The streets and lanes of Melbourne were made from it, as were house foundations and houses. In the new housing developments in the west there are huge piles of scoria rocks dug up in preparing the land. Farmers in olden times used these rocks as fences/walls on their land. Your videos are interesting and enjoyable as always.
On Fuerteventura in the canaries, there are many eruptive scree cones especially in pueblo verde, one side you can climb up as it is still quite Rocky, and then on the other side what took you an hour to walk up takes you five minutes of fly running ( sideways) to get down, it’s hilarious. Alaya UK
Your videos are actually GORGEOUS!
So much information plus so much passion plus pictures!!!❤️🔥🥰🌋🌋🌋
Hardly even touched on FNQ.
At 6:09 you mention another eruption of Buninyong within the last 12,000 years. Given that time frame, I wonder if that may have been a knock-on effect from the hypothesised Younger Dryas impact event?
Anyway, I know where my next weekend trip will be to!
Great video, man 👍
Great content. I am interested to know something about the 6 volcanoes on the Atherton Tablelands. Have you covered them previously?
I grew up in Cairns and we use to visit these vulcanoes all the time, would love to hear more about them.
Mount Franklin, well maintained free camping spot in the cone. easy drive as well
Very interesting 🤩🤩🤩🤩I lived in Tenterfield & Drake in NSW,my grandpa was a gold miner, while travelling to Tenterfield up the New England Hwy,just before reaching Tenterfield theirs a part of mountainous country that I always probably noticed since a kid in the 80's that there are all dead trees wondering why!There's gold up around Tenterfield so obviously a volcano has to of erupted there once.So first you think not enough water has killed them but thinking a bit more since watching this is the earth underneath actually much warmer because of volcanic activity once that we don't really realise as they are not active anymore & this is the real reason the trees have died?
That Volcanic eruption was only ~12000 years ago?! That was yesterday in geological terms!
I'm convinced there is a baby volcano on the outskirts of Warragul in Lillico. I've flown a drone over and there is a depression on top with rocks inside. Its so small it is hardto find any info though, it may be the neerim volcano
In her book, historian Joan Hunt stated that lava flow from Buninyong reaches as far as Wades La in Ross Creek. Is this incorrect? If so, why would she have made this conclusion? Hope you can help clear this up. Thank you.
I have visited the Undara complex 4 times, and each time I am in awe of the great cave and history. The public is not allowed to visit the actual Undara volcano site itself, unfortunately.
Any reason why?
I love your optimism
Undara is a must see place, its amazing! As hot as the day gets, it gets COLD at night! Spent one of the best days of my life out here and will visit it again soon
Had no idea mt buninyong was a volcano no wonder I'm exhausted every time I go up there😂
@OzGeologyOfficial No love for Mount Gambier? Surely the Mount and Blue Lake are unique volcanic formations of Australia?
They are indeed! Here's the video we made on them :) th-cam.com/video/km7u9FcJXOo/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant 👏
This was a good one
When I was in primary school in Melbourne Victoria we went on an excursion to a dormant volcano. I have no idea still where the place was where they took us but it took ages for us to get there by bus
Driving out to Warrnambool, I'm like a kid, pointing out the volcanoes. So widespread, so recent. And cool.
Good video, thanks.
Wow mate, cool video and awesome channel :)
Mount Gambier also has a unique volcano crater plus if you look at the surrounding area its part of a super volcano crater
Thanks
Thanks for the generous donation :)
You should go out to coalstoun Lakes West of Bundaberg. That caldera is massive.
nailed it
Such cute little cones😂 sorry I'm a Kiwi and live on the flanks of a 2518m volcano (Mt Taranaki, last erupted 1755 AD :-)
Great video and very informative
Buninyong (Which by the way, in Aborginal means 'man lying down with bent knee') has a bakery that makes the cest Vanilla Slice on the planet 🙂 I live a few kil;ometres from Mt Buninyong.. I hope it stays safe for at least another few years.. Would take to have to find another bakery for my Vanilla Slices...
Great article. Can you include Mt Elephant? I want was taken there when i was about a collegue of mine when i would have been 6 and 7 years old back then and i still have a photo of myself staring outside of the coldeara.
There lots of volcano types in the Ballarat area, going as far north as Maryborough, and as far south as the Otway's. A few come to mind immediately, Mouth Franklin near Daylesford, the Bald Hill east of Carisbrook, Mt. Blowhard near Miners Rest, and there's a few in the crescent between Blowhard and Mount Franklin, they're all over that area if you know the signs to look for. That whole area was geologically very active.
You're onto it mate. Good channel. After the Chch earthquake I thought we were safe in the Waikato. But I heard some geologist on radio say there's 5 quake lines ! Is that right ? Can you do a show on that sometime ? A bit of a worry mate. I remember a quake in the mid to late 70's in Cambridge. Not big , just a wee wobble. Are we safe here ? Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Is it possible that the massive asteroid impact found between Victoria and NSW created similar mineral deposits that are found in Sudbury, Canada? That would be sweet.
It is very possible. NSW has some really impressive mineral deposits so there might be some enrichment that occurred.
Thanks for the reply! Great video as well - hope you are having a good new year :)@@OzGeologyOfficial
@@OzGeologyOfficialmaybe all the gold that was around Ballarat came from an asteroid strike from years and years ago
Years ago we went to Undara, the lave tubes, every single person should see it, it is unbelievable that lava flows can make those huge tunnels.
Very glad I live in WA
Great video! I grew up spending a lot of time on Mt. Buninyong, once when I was playing around in the bowl I heard grumbling sounds coming from the earth
Did ya run ?
Love the Vic volcanoes and there are so many more worth discussing in due course maybe if that’s in your plans including the young ones like Mt Napier. And Mt Schank in SA is so young it’s mentioned in some Aboriginal legends, along with Mt Gambier. Visited Stockyard Hill last year … felt like I was on another planet …. Magnificent place. I could rave on and on :) Lovely video … thank you. I’m from Perth where the only basalt flows are on the south west coast. We have a very very small version of a giant’s causeway with basalt columns :)
There is also an ancient caldera on the east coat of Australia that is said to be the remnant of the largest volcano ever. It is 40 kms in diameter and last erupted 23 million years ago. It can be seen clearly on Google Maps in terrain mode.
Are you talking about Mount Warning (being the plug). It would be interesting to look into!!! I live at Mt Burrell which is one of the edges of the caldera. It's a really magical place 😃👍
I live in the town right next to Bunningyong but have done a lot of work in bunningyong. Nice town. Nice sports facilities
Ive found weathered and unweathered rocks with that same vug pattern in vineyards in the clare valley in s.a. aswell as obsidian in a farm paddock on the flats in brinkworth not far from clare.
Would be interesting if someone knows of its geological past..
I like ya work mate keep it up 👍🍺
Cheers so much for your extensive research and time, in putting this fantastic video together 😊❤ It’s un as in under and not uun
Thanks for watching and for the clarification! :)
@@OzGeologyOfficial You're welcome anytime 😊
Lol. ❤ I Love Geology was my first thought when I pressed play and then you start with those words. Loved the presentation. I Learnt a lot. 😂 Thank you. Can you enlighten us to the real geological story around the creation of "CASTLE HILL" in Townsville please. Heard, via aboriginal Dreamtime stories that it landed there in a Fiery storm. Some surmise it was a plug from a Fijian volcano. ????
Its not something you've done yet, but I'm interested in knowing about the current locations of the hot-spots that created yellowstone and capmpi felegro calderas as thousands of years have shifted the earth's crust to possible new euption sites.
So, here I am looking out at Mt Buninyong and Mt Warrenheip, guess I will not be sleeping tonight ;)
The whole of the Western District is mottled with large volcanic cones.
Noteworthy is Red Rock, it has a massive viewing arc that stretches from Mt Bunningyong, The You Yangs, Mt Leura, Mt Porndon, Mt Elephant, The Otways and on a clear day you can see the Grampians all with the naked eye. Among the flat volcanic plains is Lake Corangamite, the largest permanent salt lake in Australia. It covers about 240 square kilometres and was created by lava flow exciting nearby Warrion Hill.
Unlike Mt Warrenheip that erupted over a million years ago, Red Rock is considered “active” last erupting only 8,000 yrs ago.
The rich volcanic soils in the district grow some fantastic produce.
I’ve been thinking lately, and hoping not, that we’re going to have a Basalt volcanic process on Iceland similar to the Siberian Trips, have you any thoughts on that ? Fantastic as always, your Documentary, I never get bored listening to you either ! Alaya UK
……’Siberian Trappes’, there’s also the ‘Deccan Trappes’………in India………
There is a volcano near my hometown in Rockhampton, and I went crystal hunting when I was a kid (2005) and found myself a Rainforest Jasper weighing ~900grams. It’s so beautiful, it has a deep green with some small red and brown sections in it, and I still have both halves to this day. I’m considering selling one of the halves, but who knows if that’ll ever happen! 😂
Cool Chanel👍 do you have any interesting information on south Australia you can make a video on. Peace have a great new year.
I sure do! More to come, thank you so much for watching and Happy new year to you!
So educating ' a bloody problem "
I drop EVERYTHING when you post !!! 😊
Are there ANY volcanos in Western Australia that were PLANET KILLERS?
You are the best! Thank you! There is one that I know of that was supervolcanic in scale it sits right at the border of WA, NT, and South Australia, I will make a video on it soon :)
I have been watching Volcanoes as I read bible prophecy. To the best of my knowledge many things I found I cannot find on net now. During covid I gave
warnings we are not to play covid isolation on Kangaroo Island, under water
Volcano and there is another volcano inbetween PNG and NT , there is a
triangle from Jakarta and we are close to the ring of fire . Not much is discussed
in this country about volcanoes only dinosaw talk . Fear not accept Jesus as
your shield savior. US is where you get more truth on the ministry sites.
These things are disgused in detail that line up with bible prophecy from those who are experts in the field. Fear not trust in the Lord.
Tempe track NT found a vent in the overgrowth, 8ft wide sloping down, lava rock flow upwards on base
Mt buffalo at 1400m high with a flat top of 30ks plus with old lake on top. It was our biggest mountain till it blow. A massive boulder in metung over 300ks away sitting by the road in water. Legend rock!!. Is from it. our biggest gold so far has come from near no1'3 been washed down lots over years as we dig.my favorite look volcano is near buldar! Above combinebar. Check it out👍
There is a small one near Springhill, wombat state forest. Lots of gold in the area after the eruption brought up all the gold
Buninyong resident here.
Gday, got another here :)
This is awesome. I lived in Ballarat for years. Would love to know more about the granite mountains and hills of northwest Victoria, including the small mountain I live on, Wycheproof ;)
Geology 101 was the most fascinating uni subject I've taken, though it did teach me that to be a geologist you had to know way too much
Pretty sure I have a photo of myself in that crater in Mt Buningyong. Also remember visiting Warranheap when I was a kid as well. You can find volcanic rocks just on the ground.
very interesting video but you seem to have forgotten Mt Warning at Murwillumbah which was a monster of a volcano
i didnt know volcanos exist in australia but every peak you see in australia are dormant volcanos once erupted many, many, many, many moons ago!
It still blows my mind that we have volcanos in Australia because, until recently, living in Melbourne I've felt 0 geological events. I'm 30 BTW.
I love in Ballarat right under Mt Buninyong, i should venture up there at some point
I definitely recommend it! There’s a tower up the summit that you can climb too and it goes quite high up.
Mt Gibraltar near Bowral , NSW is another old volcano and so is Tower Hill , near Koroit in Victoria...both interesting places.
Hey, viewer here from the Pacific Northwest (British Columbia, Canada,) - are Australia's volcanoes also part of the Pacific Ring of Fire? (Super interesting video!❤)
Hello! Australia’s volcanism is not related to the ring of fire. It’s something known as intraplate volcanism :)
@@OzGeologyOfficial thank you!❤️
I’m sorry buninyoung (of which I live not to far from) is still active?!
I knew there were volcanoes, here in Australia, but never knew where they were.
You should check out the small volcano in bowning NSW
32°22'35"S 152°28'59"E. Mid north coast, smiths lake. What do you reckon this is mate?
"Trying to get to the efn gold" 😂
Ha ha ha ha one effing Rock at a time ! You crack me up mate !
Could you tell me what volcano's are located in & around the wedderburn, starnuds, bendigo & ballarat area's as i have been told aproxamately 7 to 9 kilometers from me. I live 10 k's west of wedderburn in a area called Nine Mile.
Between Undara Lava Tubes and Cairns is Innot Hot Springs fed by superheated water. On the Atherton Tablelands are plenty of cones and a couple of crater lakes....
I come from Creswick not too far away and hearing stories of mount kourian
Sorry about forgetting the spelling of koruceang what ever between Kingston and yandoit bought up hearing stories of it still murmering at night
Can you do a video on Mt Warning please?
Can you please talk about how the cliffs at dunnes swamp nsw formed? I’ve been told it was a volcano.
At the 25 second mark, on top of the hill on the left side of the screen, something runs into the bush. Tassie tiger for sure. You saw it first here folks.
Take a look at Ex volcano that was behind the Gold Coast was one of biggest in the world.
