There are no volcanic eruptions in Australia.There are many remnants of volcanoes in Australia, resulting from ancient activity, but none of them are active and most have long been extinct. Mt Gambier in southeast South Australia is one such example. Although declared officially "dormant", seismologists and scientists monitor them, even though there has been no sign of activity since European settlement began in Australia.

Australia's only active volcano is found on one of its external territories, that of Heard Island. Big Ben is a volcano which resumed eruptions in about 1993.
