Mount Scoria Cultural Trail

Rising 150 metres above the cultivated plains, Mount Scoria is a striking local landmark. Formed by volcanic activity 20-26 million years ago, this volcanic plug features many-sided basalt columns. From this short cultural trail in Mount Scoria Conservation Park walkers get a good view of the unusual columns, which are only found in two other locations worldwide. As you walk, stop and read the signs describing the Indigenous history (Gangulu people) of the area and explaining how these ancient geological formations were formed.
