Mount Eccles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Eccles is in Victoria, Australia. It is composed of scoria hill from a series of volcanic vents.
Mount Eccles National Park at Lake Surprise encompasses 61.2 square kilometres and includes many interesting geologic features such as lava flows, lava caves, scoria cones and crater lakes. The park has a campground and the base of the vents supports Lake Surprise, a popular swimming hole in summer. The dreaming of local Koori nations incorporates tales of volcanic eruptions from the past. Mount Napier is located 25 km north-east of Mount Eccles.
Mount Eccles, 20,000 years, opened up though the earths crust and poured lava out of it and at the same time forming many of the surrounding features, like Lake Surpise.
