Red Rock

Red Rock features 30 eruption points spread across a 4-kilometer by 3-kilometer area, including multiple craters filled with saline lakes.

The volcanic complex experienced its final eruption approximately 8,000 years ago, marking one of the most recent volcanic activities in Victoria.

Scientists designated Red Rock as a type locality for studying volcanic systems, contributing to geological research throughout Eastern Australia.

Two public lookout points provide views of Lake Corangamite and lava flows, while most of the surrounding land remains private property.

The site contains nine complete craters, with Lake Purdiguluc formed by the combination of five separate eruption points.
