Yandoit Hill
A large heavily eroded scoria cone with lava capping and associated flows.
Impressions:
Although there is probably only one eruption point here, erosion as created a cluster of hills each with lava capping. This is a confusing landscape to interpret. Adding interest to the locality is a scattering of old stone buildings, some ruinous ones such as the old pub in the photo.
