Nestled in the crater of a dormant volcano, the Tower Hill Reserve,
in south-west Victoria, Australia, is a haven for wildlife,
a fascinating ecological site and a showcase for local Indigenous
culture. Within its broad crater rim a number of volcanic cones
rise from a lake in a formation known as a nested maar. Artefacts
found in the layers of exposed ash show that Aboriginal people
were living in the area at the time of the eruption, around
30 000 years ago. www.worngundidj.org.au
