Mt Elephant open

Next date: Sunday, 20 October 2024 | 01:00 PM to 04:00 PM

Mount 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.

Visit us every Sunday from 1 till 4 pm (except days of Total Fire Ban or Severe fire risk).

• Groups such as schools can make an appointment for other more suitable times.
• Dogs on leads are welcome.
• Please note that for your safety we will not be open on days of total fire ban.
