Forged by fire

01/04/2017 by murally

In the Mar/Apr edition of Australian Geographic there is a marvellous story by Jeremy Bourke – Victoria’s love affair with lava is on full display in the hundreds of dormant volcanoes and other geological features smattered across its Western District. It is very instructive on the 400+ volcanoes in the region and the history going back 550,000 years. It also has a section on dry stone walls and a refers readers to our website! Here is a promo video.

As it happens, a member of our Committee – Raelene Marshall – and Patron, Lyn Allison visited Budj Bim and the lava canal during the week, escorted by local historian Tim Hubbard. Here are some pics:
