Mount Fox

Located southwest of Ingham, Mount Fox was created by a violent volcanic explosion about 100,000 years ago. In the explosion, a lava flow spewed from the southern end of the crater and chunks of molten magma were thrown out of the volcano's vent.

Evidence can be seen of the fierce Mount Fox eruption in the form of striated rocks. As the eruption threw the magma out of the volcano, the fragments cooled and kept their shape to form bombs.

The well-formed crater is about 10 metres deep and covered with sparse grasses and stunted trees. Vine thicket is found in a steep gully on the southern slopes. Open eucalypt woodland dominates the crater area.
