Elephant Mountain, Volcano in Western Victoria for Water H2O ThursdayMount Elephant is a perfect breached scoria cone that erupted maybe 180,000 years ago. It is part of a suite of volcanoes on the basalt plains of south west Victoria from 30,000 to several million years old. (When will the next one erupt?!) Located 1 kilometre west of the township of Derrinallum, on the Hamilton Highway. It is an easy one-hour drive from major regional centres of Geelong, Ballarat, Warrnambool and Hamilton, and a comfortable two-hour drive from Melbourne. This is often the mountain used as a backdrop for astrolandscape on Instagram. The drive was a bit too long 2.5 hours from Warrnambool, Victoria.
