Mount Noorat is a major volcano of the Newer Volcanics Province of Victoria, with a peak height of 310 metres above sea level and a crater between 160 and 200 metres. It is characterised by multiple vents, a complex topography, and the deepest scoria enclosed crater in Victoria.[3] The mount illustrates a transition from maar eruption to scoria cone development, and includes megacryst and xenolith.[1]
Legacy
The Mount was historically a traditional meeting and trading place for the district's Indigenous peoples, the Kirrae Wuurong, who exchanged stones, spears, skins and other material.[4] Its scoria was used on the district's early roads.[5]
