Budj Bim, Dormant volcano in Victoria, Australia
The conical peak rises 178 meters above the surrounding area, featuring three overlapping volcanic craters that contain Lake Surprise within its formation.
Scientific dating methods have determined that Budj Bim erupted approximately 36,900 years ago, creating significant lava flows that altered regional drainage patterns.
The Gunditjmara people developed advanced aquaculture systems using the volcanic landscape, constructing channels and weirs for eel farming over thousands of years.
Visitors can access educational resources, exhibits, and guided tours at the site while exploring walking trails through the natural volcanic landscape.
Archaeological discoveries beneath volcanic ash at nearby Tower Hill provide evidence of human presence dating back to the time of Budj Bim's volcanic activity.
