[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 510502, member: 12692"] yes Goldierocks I know about the volcanoes on Heard & McDonald Islands. I was being more specific to the mainland. New Zealand's active volcanoes are also geographically close. My understanding of a dormant volcano is one which has a hot magma chamber underneath it, potentially active & able to erupt. This bit from Volcano Discovery <[i]A dormant volcano is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again. An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future[/i].> But I stand corrected if what you say about volcanoes in South Australia and Victoria only a few thousand years ago is correct. I haven't heard of that. Has this been documented anywhere, ie with sample analysis by a research body/volcanologist group? I would be interested in reading more about it. It does sound to me tho' that if the magma plume lies deep beneath Bass Strait, then the volcanoes back on the mainland are probably extinct. Any new eruptions would most likely occur in the Strait. Volcanoes do intrigue me [/QUOTE]
