Volcanic eruptions long overdue in SE Australia - experts

New research carried out by scientist from the University of Melbourne have been able to find the age of of extinct volcanoes in western Victoria and South Australia, potentially confirming that both regions are overdue for a devastating eruption.

"While the creation of relatively small volcanic fields such as those of western Victoria and in South Australia remains controversial, it is no doubt better to be prepared than caught unawares by a new volcanic outburst" said Professor Richard Arculus of the Australian National University in a report by the Australian Geographic.
