Mt Callender is an eruption point next to Callender Bay on the North West side of Lake Burrumbeet. It has been covered by tuff from the eruption of the nearby maar, which seem to have covered an earlier scoria cone. The recent updgrade of the Western Fwy past the Northern base of the mountain has uncovered red material that looks like scoria.

"Mount Buninyong is a composite breached scoria cone from which issued a number of lava flows. There is a deep, well-defined central crater which has been breached on the north-western side. On the eastern side, the cone rises abruptly above older weathered lava flows but the topography around the western side is irregular as younger lava flows issued from here via the explosive breach of the cone. The breach may thus represent the site of a second crater. Small parasitic lava vents occur around the base.

Mount Blackwood is a prominent scoria dome built on lava flows extending 8 km to the south. The flows are narrow and elongated and followed an upland valley thus covering stream gravels. Korkuperrimal Creek and Myrniong Creek have excavated lateral valleys leaving the lava flows as an elevated ridge.

Monmot Hill is a complex of two craters, with spatter ramparts on the western most cone and a lava dome and ramparts on the eastern. There is an associated lava flow to the west.The Stockyard Hill Windfarm project has produced some interesting documentation about this area, and photos and information about Monmot Hill can be found here.

Heaghney Hill is a lava mound resting on broad lava base. There are eroded flows to both the north and south forming ridges and small mesas. Dipping lava ridges (squeeze ups or dykes) are prominent and there is abundant outcrop in valleys lateral to the lava flow. The contact with underlying Ordovician sediments is well exposed in the valley of Deep Creek on the west of Heaghney Hill.
