    Lady Julia Percy Island

    Deen Maar Island

    This island, 22 km away from Port Fairy, stands as the singular offshore volcano in Australia. Its formation dates back around seven million years when intense underwater eruptions occurred during the separation of Australia from Antarctica. Notably, the basalt found on the island predates the lava flows on the mainland by several million years. It also has cultural significance to the area's indigenous people, the Gundjitjmara people, as it is believed to be the place where the creator Bunjil the eagle, left this world.
