Kinrara (volcano)

Kinrara is a volcano in Queensland, Australia. It is one of the youngest volcanoes in Australia, and erupted 7,000 years ago.

Eruption

Lavas flowed 55 km from the crater, and cover 173 km². According to one study, the Gugu-Badhun people have oral traditions that may describe the volcano erupting, equivalent to around 230 ± 70 generations ago.

Geography

Wetlands at the Valley of Lagoons occur around the boundary between the Kinrara flow and the Burdekin River.
