Yes, 30 million years ago is considered recent to geologists. So is 250 million years ago ;D

Australia has many volcanoes that have erupted very recently. With the last eruption occurred only 5000 years ago. As many people know, Australia is tectonically stable. So, in theory, many people wouldn't expect pronounced earthquakes or volcanoes to occur here. And yet, they have, en masse, for around 31 million years. Starting in Northern Queensland and slowly working their way south over time, reaching Victoria 7 million years ago, where it transformed the land altogether. Burying the ancient landscape that once existed here beneath wave after wave of lava flow.

This story of Australia's volcanism is an excellent example of intraplate volcanism. We'll take a look at a volcano that was among the first to roar to life when Queensland became volcanically active again around 30 million years ago, and work our way south to two famous volcanoes in Victoria.
