@OzGeologyOfficial you're now my favorite channel! I'm membering up on Tuesday!! I'm in Deniliquin area.Very interesting fissures in tiny town of MATHOURA.nsw....very big cracks!! Til then,Thanks for the yummy Volcanos I was told Australia didn't have ANY wen at school in 60s!
Amazing vid, just climbed Mt Holden this afternoon. I've been picking up quartz rocks last 3 or 4 times been up there. I've noticed most quartz is mainly on the eastern side of the mountain. I will have to se if I can locate that out cropping you showed. There are a couple of other interesting places on the south side of Sunbury too, along Jackson Creek around the Holden Reserve area. I am aware there are also 2 exposed quartz reefs between Sunbury and Diggers that one was mined back in the 1800s. They pulled out 308 oz per 157.5 tone. It's still out there, just need to find it...❤
I'm going to make a video on the one in Diggers that was mined, I finally located the sucker. It's been filled in unfortunately. The quartz in the video is also on the eastern side of the mountain. I should take a few samples and crush them up haha.
@@OzGeologyOfficial Hit me up when you are planning on coming back to check out the mine, I also know where it is too. However, I am still searching for the second one that is apparently hanging out of a cliff wall near the old Diggers school in that same area. I believe they took a few samples out of it, but they say it was not profitable for them. Would be great to take some samples from there too and crush that up.
I went to Killara Primary School as a kid and always loved collecting the little quartz and marble pieces left on the ground after they renovated. The microwave's top was covered in them😂
Dang, I missed this when it came out, but it's so fun watching your content about my town! I live next to Mt Holden, and I have a wonderful photo of my son jumping from rock to rock on the top of the mountain with the sun setting in the background 😊
Another awesome video mate, cheers. I was shocked when I watch this because I was literally driving past Mount Macendon and Sunbury as I watched the video. LOL, it was awesome.
I love your videos, I’m originally from Victoria and find it very interesting about what I thought were just hills. I now live in Wagga Wagga NSW and live on the side of a small hill called Willans Hill, would it be possible that it may be an ancient volcano, there are lots of rocks in the area that look volcanic.
Hi OzGeology. The quartz is indeed an interesting feature. I have passed through Sunbury on occassion and have stopped for a break at Sheoak Reserve, but didn't really know about Mount Holden, so thanks for this video. Next time I'm passing through there, I'll keep a lookout for a bloke with a camera talking to scoria and basaltic components, whispering, "I love you".
We live near Miners Rest and I was wondering if there is a geology site we can go to to see how old our local volcanoes (Mt Pisgah and Mt Hollowback) are?
I love Miners rest. The volcanoes there and north of there in the Creswick area are definitely the best in Victoria. Information about the volcanoes of Victoria is sparse to say the least. Most articles will say "within the past 7 million years". Without giving more of a definitive date beyond that. I think there are too many volcanoes for them to cover hahaha
@@OzGeologyOfficial Cheers mate, so not as recent as Buninyong and Warrenheip. I read in the local paper Mt Buninyong erupted only about 40 - 60,000 years ago. We're safe 😂
Sunbury, also the place of the first powered flight in Australia by Harry Houdini. And also where Australia beat England in the first Ashes cricket match.
Thank you that was a good clip If you get a chance what has happening at the blow hole in Victoria years ago .I went to visit some relatives in Vic and they took me to the blow hole and I have never seen any thing like the rocks there they Have a history there .But I'm from QLD never travelled south before lol any way thanks.
Interesting way to say Scoria, (scoreea), depends on what school one went to, neither right or wrong 👌👌🥰. Edit: I've just subbed to you paleozoo channel 🤗👌
A little backstory: I monitor earthquakes daily, by far the most and consistently largest are on the boundary of the Australian Plate, the Pacific Plate and Zealandia. Is the reason because the speed of the subduction or what?
Tell me how to find gold on my property at Clunes Victoria. It is unfortunately 1000m south of the nearest gold mine with gold in it. There are quite a few volcanoes up there around Clunes. Is Mt. Beckworth (direct to my west) a volcano too or a part of a mountain chain?

Scor…ria?
Pumice and "hash"? That would be explained by the rock festivals at Sunbury in the early 70's. Great video, cheers.
Hahahahaha! This comment got me.
Love these videos about interesting local sites!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
In 1956 we lived at Woodend just a few miles from Hanging Rock. If you have not already done it, would you please do a video of Hanging Rock.
Hanging rock will be released very soon :)
Thank you, YOU! i'm sold! You're such a good resarcher.Subbed!
Awesome! Thank you! I appreciate the sub so much!
@OzGeologyOfficial you're now my favorite channel!

I was told Australia didn't have ANY wen at school in 60s!
You're too kind! Thank you so much. I hope to travel to Deniliquin very soon to make a few videos. Maybe we'll cross paths :) I hope we do!
@OzGeologyOfficial oh,that would awesome!
There's a forest 200 mtrs away where I found ancient burial sites too.
Geology,sighhhhh,it sure rocks!
Starting to think this channel's name should be VicGeology 😉
Hahaha! I'll be journeying interstate soon so hopefully it'll be more of an OzGeology than VicGeology with time!
I agree.
Mmm. I suspect we’ll be visiting Mount Gambier in SA in the not too distant future

Awesome video from a awesome Geologist
Many thanks Kishen! You're the best!
Another cracking video cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :)
Awesome video Mate I live next to mt Holden Beautiful spot 👍
Thank you for watching! Awesome place to live honestly.
Western Vic is amazing.
Mount Eccles is a favourite.
Dang, I missed this when it came out, but it's so fun watching your content about my town!
I live next to Mt Holden, and I have a wonderful photo of my son jumping from rock to rock on the top of the mountain with the sun setting in the background 😊
Love it.... Mt Gambier is awesome too
Sure is! Thanks for watching!
@@OzGeologyOfficial stopped there on way to Taz... Imagine climbing the lip to discover the lake 😍
I hope to go there soon to record a proper video on it!
@@OzGeologyOfficial wicked! The sunken garden is amazing too
How about Mount Schank, a dormant volcano which last erupted about 5,000 years ago.
It is just south of Mt Gambier (you can do that too).
Very interesting video. Great to see Aussie geology video's. Thanks!
Another awesome video mate, cheers. I was shocked when I watch this because I was literally driving past Mount Macendon and Sunbury as I watched the video. LOL, it was awesome.
No way! Hahaha that's amazing. Thanks for watching mate :)

That would definitely be me. So say hello! I'd love to meet you that's for sure. Thanks for watching and for your awesome support as always.
Awesome video I live next to mt Holden Beautiful spot 👍
Very cool! I wish I lived there to be honest.
Brilliant mate loving these vids, mt dissapointment worth a suss found hectic fossil slabs also signs of glacial deposits if know where to look
Very cool! Thanks for sharing mate I'll have to keep my eye out the next time I venture there.
Thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the wonderful video 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@OzGeologyOfficial 😊😊
sounds like a good place for various gemstones!!!!!!
You're not wrong there. I've found some great gemstone specimens from eroded basalt. Mainly olivine.

CAN YOU DO VIDEO ON TOWER HILL SOUTH WEST VIC. THANK YOU. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
Hey OZ, I can actually see my sisters house in the new estate at foot of that ancient volc Hill. Can't wait to show her! 😂
Hahaha very cool! Thanks so much for watching :) Hope she enjoys it too!
Thank you
I can see my house from here! Lots of volcanoes around here. Have you looked at Mt Cottrell?
That was very interesting
Try Mt Aitken. the closest Volcano to Melbourne
I have about 10 vents like that within 15 km of my house, which is in the middle of a fairly major city in N. America.
Lots of scoria at diggers rest too. Big quarries there processing it
Sunbury, also the place of the first powered flight in Australia by Harry Houdini. And also where Australia beat England in the first Ashes cricket match.
Thank you that was a good clip
If you get a chance what has happening at the blow hole in Victoria years ago .I went to visit some relatives in Vic and they took me to the blow hole and I have never seen any thing like the rocks there they Have a history there .But I'm from QLD never travelled south before lol any way thanks.
say "scoria" wrong please... yeah carry on.... Aside that, keep the good work up!
That and basalt.
We need to invent a way to make more cabonatite volcanoes, theyre the best kind of volcano.
They really are fascinating! Thanks for watching.
Interesting way to say Scoria, (scoreea), depends on what school one went to, neither right or wrong 👌👌🥰.
Edit: I've just subbed to you paleozoo channel 🤗👌
That's awesome! Thanks for subbing. I think it's just me that pronounces it this way. It's an old habit that refuses to die haha.
@@OzGeologyOfficial 😅👌
@@OzGeologyOfficial ”Busolt” 😂
Between Jackson creek and Yellowgum Blvd there is a tiny outcrop of Ordovician shale FULL of graptolites, crinoids and weird circular fossils
How about mt piper near broadford?? Like a pimple on the plain!!
Can see my house at 4:07 and in your thumbnail. Interesting video.
A little backstory: I monitor earthquakes daily, by far the most and consistently largest are on the boundary of the Australian Plate, the Pacific Plate and Zealandia. Is the reason because the speed of the subduction or what?
can you collect pumice in sunbury and where? a few bags would be nice, as it's quite expensive (bought it) from the few suppliers that sell it.
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍
indigenous Australians still walk the continent
?????????
Tell me how to find gold on my property at Clunes Victoria. It is unfortunately 1000m south of the nearest gold mine with gold in it.
There are quite a few volcanoes up there around Clunes. Is Mt. Beckworth (direct to my west) a volcano too or a part of a mountain chain?
Did you mean 'eroding processes'?
It was like yesterday, it erupted ;)
Gold in the quartz.?
Maybe. I'd have to get some to test it.
It's coming
Your gonna freeze in 400 years genius
Okay… 🤔 I’m glad you support me to live that long.
