Kanawinka Geopark, Geological exploration site in Victoria, Australia
The Kanawinka Geopark extends across 26,910 square kilometers of south western Victoria and south east South Australia, featuring volcanic plains and limestone caves.
The geological formations in the Otway Basin within the geopark developed when Australia separated from Gondwana approximately 95 million years ago.
The name Kanawinka comes from the Buandik Aboriginal people and translates to Land of Tomorrow, reflecting their 45,000-year connection to this territory.
The eastern section of Kanawinka Geopark sits one hour from Melbourne by car, while reaching the border requires a four-and-a-half-hour drive.
The park contains 400 eruption points, with volcanic activity occurring between 5 million and 5,000 years ago, creating the Newer Volcanics Province.
