| Inside the crater of a dormant volcano, Tower Hill Game Reserve in south-west Victoria is a haven for wildlife, a fascinating ecological site and a showcase for Aboriginal history. Within its crater rim a number of volcanic cones rise from a lake-bed in a formation known as a nested maar volcano. Artefacts found in exposed ash layers show that Aboriginal people were living in the area at the time of the eruption, some 30,000 years ago. At Tower Hill take interactive walks with our experienced guides to encounter Australian wildlife, gain local perspectives about natural habitat, Aboriginal history, bush tucker/medicine and volcanic formations. |
