Edit: :oops2: Sorry Baz, I just googled Mt McClintock and it's height is given as 3490metres in height and is the highest.
I had in mind Big Ben, on Heard Island. At 2745metres, it is clearly not as high as Mt McClintock (but is our highest active volcano).

It is a little-known fact that the highest point on Australian territory is actually Mawson's Peak. Located on Heard Island, Mawson's Peak is 2745 metres high and forms the summit of an active volcano called Big Ben. Heard Island is well south of the Australian continent (73°30' East, 53°05' South), approaching the coast of Antarctica in the Southern Ocean. There are higher elevations and mountains in the Australian Antarctic Territory.
