From Wedge Island NQ, to Melbourne. The Cosgrove volcanic hotspot track, the worlds longest terrestrial line of intraplate volcanoes. Not a record we really want, I reckon.

Volcanoes in Taupo NZ. I went there in 1968, but really had no idea what I was looking at.

Ancient volcano's discovered in Central Australia. 180 to 160 million years ago, I guess it had to be expected.
