Looking at it on Google Earth (easier than trying to see it by eye from Melbourne), I would be pretty confident saying the Gowrie Mountain is an ancient volcano. There are also a couple of features to the south of Gowrie Mountain, just near Wellcamp Airport that are also ancient volcanic areas, including the Cecil Plain Road quarry.
May those mounds of dirt are from extinct giant ants, and all run off is petrified giant ant dung! Yeah that’s what I’m going with! Or perhaps my third grade education wasn’t as good as I thought it was! 😂😂😂 Glad you’re out exploring. Can’t wait to get a leg over the 450 here in the states.
The run along the railway line there is a bit of fun, you can actually ride the whole way from there to Dalby along the line with only one short detour near Jondy.
@@markhills3922 It's a nice little ride, mainly black soil with a bit of tar through the towns then gravel from Bowenville to Dalby. Depending on how wet it is and how many 4wd's have been up it it can be challenging!
Hi outie, is your bike equipped with a T-box? If yes, could you show or tell where is it located? I don't understand if mine has one or not... Thanks mate!
The Australian ones have it fitted as standard. The cfmoto website will tell you if it's in your country. It's located behind one of the side panels at the front. The white panel on mine. Connect using the phone app and your VIN
It's a Caldera and Pluton, I studied geology at Uni. Those flow formations are igneous rock formed from volcanic activity. The greater Toowoomba area are full of those upheavals . Gowrie Mountain is defiantly part of that. I love geology.
Nice short Vids... thx! You got the original Tyres - what are your opinions? What´s good, what's bad. Are you in the Mood to switch Tyres? ...to what? Have a nice Day!
Nice exploring outie, im glad you have sunshine. Pretty cold here in Victoria. All the extinct Volcanoe ive seen are way bigger , im not an expert, but maybe a meteorite, as others have said. You would be likely to find lots of rock scattered over a great distance from volcano. Thats just my theory.
pretty cold in Victoria? it's bloody icy here in the Pyrenees Baz; i (apparently) get my 450MT in 5 days and i am excited about that, but after a few years off the bikes i can't say i'm looking forward to wearing all the cold-weather gear to go for my first ride on it.
@markhills3922 fantastic your getting your bike, I have to agree about the cold it's not much fun. I'm at the Grampians at the moment just on a car holiday. Pretty wet.
@@bazz6670 yeah it's wet alright...and being the land of troughs and peaks that it is out here, it won't dry up until mid spring; wet/damp red clay everywhere with hardly any shale mixed in it makes for slippery days which is something else i'm not a big fan of; a 110kg enduro bike with full knobbies is hard enough work on wet red clay; i can only imagine what riding a near 200Kg bike with road and trail tyres on it would be like.....

As long as it's petrified then all is well. It would be scary if it wasn't...
Could be, Mt Canobolas in Orange NSW is an extinct volcano 😊
Running wild and free😊 it is how it meant to be

that would be an awesome ride; i'd imagine you'd also be able to connect from that line to the one heading north to Emerald....

@@billblogs8206 if i was up that way i'd be going for a little looksie for sure; black soil sure is fun if it hasn't been raining too much.

You rock, man!
@@outie555 🤣
Possibly some meteor impact site? Not sure why only half the side would erode and not the other side?

Good for dry conditions. Not sure on what the next one will be as we are going into our drought cycle now for the next 8-10 years. Maybe anakee wilds.
