Download coordinates as: This is a list of active, dormant and extinct volcanoes in Australia and its island territories.
There are no volcanoes on the Australian mainland that have erupted since European settlement, but some eruptions in Victoria, South Australia and North Queensland could have been witnessed by Aboriginal people several thousand years ago, however there is no evidence of this.
There are no active or dormant volcanoes in Western Australia, although there are a number of extinct ones, and geological evidence of others.
There are nineteen small extinct volcanoes in the valley of the Fitzroy River in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The Kimberley also has a number of groups of hot springs, which may be connected with the volcanic activity that produced the extinct volcanoes (but since these volcanic formations are Proterozoic in age – i.e. maybe a billion years old, this would be very unlikely).
