One of the most recognizable geologic features within Australia is the famous Hanging Rock in Victoria. Hanging rock is the remnant of a volcanic eruption which left behind a lava dome alongside its associated magma conduit. This conduit eventually cooled, forming this popular geologic feature. Hanging Rock only erupted once and will never erupt again.
