Volcanoes Discovery Centre

There are many questions about volcanoes and we don't have any active volcanoes in Australia, but they have an impact on the landscape today. Most people know little about volcanoes but a visit to the Penshurst Volcanoes Discovery Centre has people leaving with a lot more knowledge.
Heard Island is Australias only active volcano WE have one of the largest volcanic plains in the world
The Volcanoes Discovery Centre has displays of all types of volcanoes, and specific information on volcanic activity in Western Victoria. Through videos and posters the wonder of volcanoes is on show for everyone. The centre interests tourists as well as students. Many schools make a special trip to Penshurst to learn about geology.

A visit to Penshurst should also include a climb of Mount Rouse, our very own dormant volcano.

The Volcanoes Discovery Centre is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Public Holidays and School Holidays from 10am-4pm.
