How many Australian volcanoes are there?

Answer 1

There aren't any on mainland Australia, but two exist near the remote Antarctic Territory [allocated to Australian jurisdiction]. There, on Heard and Mcdonald Islands, one exists on each island. Of the two active volcanos within the country's authority, Big Ben is located on Heard Island, an Australian"external territory" in the southern Indian ocean. Big Ben has erupted as recently as heard in 2001. Mawson Peak on McDonald Island is located 40 km to the west of Heard Island volcano, in the sub Antarctic and is the highest peak on Australian-owned territory. The island doubled in size between 1980 and 2001, due to volcanic activity.
