Sign explaining the origin of Tumuli Lava Blisters.
"Tumuli are odd-looking lava domes pushed up by the pressure of liquid lava beneath a thin crust. These features are rare, and the local examples are the best in Australia. There is one in the valley just over the ridge behind you (1km along the gravel road), but the best cluster is on Old Crusher Road (8km). Both sites are on private land, but you can see the tumuli from the road. Further west along Old Crusher road you will discover examples of stony rises and pressure ridges."
Part of the Kanawinka Geopark. Australia's first UNESCO-assisted Geopark.
