Name an extinct volcano in Australia?

Answer 1

There are no active volcanoes in Australia, only extinct ones.

For thousands of years, the only active volcano on Australian territory was Big Ben, which is located on Heard Island. More recently, there has been considerable volcanic activity on the nearby McDonald Islands, also Australian territory.

Answer 2

The Australian mainland has no active volcanoes.

However, the University of Western Australia's seismicity centre states that Australia's oldest volcanoes are in north Queensland. No particular mountain/extinct volcano has been specified as the oldest.

Answer 3

The majority of Australia's mainland volcanoes are extinct. Among them are:

• Glasshouse Mountains, Qld - Coonowrin, Tibrogargan, Coochin, Beerwah, Ngun Ngun etc
• Mt Gowrie, Qld
• Mt Lindesay, Qld
• Mt Canobolas, NSW
• Mt Kaputar, NSW
• Mt Warning, NSW
• Warrumbungles, NSW
• Mt Macedon, Vic
• Mt Hotham, Vic
• Mt Warrnambool, Vic

Mt Gambier and Mr Schank in South Australia are two of Australia's most well-known ancient volcanoes which are actually considered dormant, rather than extinct, with various sources quoting their possible last eruptions as occurring between 2000 and 4000 years ago.
