Tower Hill

Tower Hill consists of a massive crater spanning 3 kilometers wide and 80 meters high, with multiple lakes formed through volcanic activity.

The volcano's last eruption occurred over 34,000 years ago, leaving archaeological evidence of Aboriginal presence beneath layers of volcanic ash.

The Gunditjmara people maintain deep connections to Tower Hill, sharing their knowledge through guided tours and educational programs about their traditions.

The reserve features numerous walking tracks, observation points, and designated areas for viewing native animals including kangaroos, emus, and waterbirds.

This nested maar formation contains multiple smaller volcanic cones and lakes within its main crater, creating distinct geological patterns.
