There's a dormant volcano sleeping under Melbourne - and it could erupt at any moment:

"the whole province is volcanically active and the new one could literally be anywhere, but the most likely place will be between Ballarat and Geelong.

If the sun is going into a GSM and as the earths poles are currently flipping and old volcanos ar erupting world wide and in our life time we can only go by our ancient ancestors tablets and cave paintings we can only wait and see

I think We have more chance of an Earthquake than a Volcanic eruption... West of Broom has been going off for ages...

You are relating things that are mostly unrelated - different causes. No significant change in volcanic activity either.

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 <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.>
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

Yes, it is reliable - the most recent are definitely not older than about 5,000 years. I don't have the references handy. Bernie Joyce would be the Victorian expert, Ray Cas the Australian expert (quoted above and quoted accurately). I know them both and have had discussions with them. Bass Strait is the most likely, but on-land in Victoria or Queensland are possible. There is not really a single "plume" in the upper crust, only deeper, it can spread out and pop up at surface over a wide area. Details from my memory only, but I think the Bass Strait magma body has been verified b y seismic work (P seismic waves pass through liquid, S waves do not, and since magma is liquid we can map out magma bodies in the subsurface.

If you get to the end of the week and havent hear a good rumour..........its time to start one

Incidentally, I sat on an international flight next to a volcanologist who was studying the Victorian region and I took away, in my geological timeline terms that Victorian volcanic activity is almost as fresh as a steaming turd and slightly constipated. Having studied intra-plate earthquake history going back 2500 years, thanks to Chinese imperial records....... it was an interesting conversation.

Conclusion: there are lots of moving parts and physical influences upon this planet

"Victorian volcanic activity is almost as fresh as a steaming turd and slightly constipated" Mind if I use that one with my students? The most accurate analogy that I have heard....

By al means...........if it helps to get them moving

I like your Map Wally... :lol: :lol:

[sand surfer]

Like the map wally, not looking for a extra ickshovel: to tag along, don't want to see you get lost with a detailed map like that :lol:

We should start some kind of repository on here that compiles outstanding words of wisdom and Pearls of Truth such as this, that are agreed to by experts, a majority member vote, and mods to be an absolute Prospecting or Geological truth. One that is a kind of Bible that can't be altered or added to by anyone but the Mods themselves.

Along with Wally's Gem of wisdom, I'd vote for something submitted by another member on here once (and I can't recall who it was!)- No area has been Flogged until you've flogged it yourself.


And, a Reg Wilson post when I think he was quoting John Hider Smith? - No amount of Wishful Thinking will turn a ground noise into a Target

They are all absolute truths that cut to the chase and are worded in such a way that we can all understand them. :Y:

"No area has been Flogged until you've flogged it yourself." Sounds like a 'Bogger' post to me... :koala:
