The Newer Volcanic Province: Volcanoes Under Melbourne
Underneath Victoria and South Australia, in an area that reaches from Mount Gambia all the way up to southwest Melbourne, lies an active volcano field called the Newer Volcanic Province. This field consists of a widespread string of multiple small volcanoes, each with a small volume of magma. Raymond Cas, Professor emeritus at Monash University, joined Drive on the line to discuss the nature of the Newer Volcanic Province and what we should know.
