Organ Pipes National Park

Miek January 14, 2021

Organ Pipes National Park is part of an Aboriginal cultural landscape in the traditional Country of the Wurundjeri People

It is located at the eastern-most edge of one of the world’s largest ancient volcanic lava flows, stretching 350 kilometres from the edge of Melbourne to the western border of Victoria

Park your car on top of an old volcano and take a leisurely stroll down the hill to the impressive basalt columns that resemble organ pipes, which were formed about a million years ago when huge quantities of molten lava were ejected from volcanoes near what is now Sunbury and flowed over the Keilor Plains

You can also see the Rosette Rock, which resembles the spokes of a giant wheel and Tessellated Pavements (a mosaic-like basalt outcrop)
