Fitzgerald Hill

Fitzgerald Hill is probably a small lava disc overlying broader lava flows. There are parallel groups of small rocky escarpments which are most prominent high on the eastern side and lower on the western slope. The outcrops give a very clear indication of the structure of the edges of lava flows.

Impressions: 

Approaching this volcano from the west on Mundy road (which crosses over it's northern flank), you can see a very distinct rock wall. We presume that this is the remnants of the lava lake, and that the surrounding scoria has eroded away over time.
