Inverloch Volcanics

There’s more to Inverloch than dinosaurs. About 100 million years ago volcanoes erupted in the area now known as The Caves and Flat Rocks. Visit the sites of those eruptions.

This field trip visits the sites of the Inverloch volcanic eruptions to examine the volcanic geology. You will also see evidence of earthquakes, find some fossils and maybe even a dinosaur fossil. The tour includes about 2km of walking across sand and rock including some uneven surfaces. Good footwear and physical mobility is recommended.
