An extinct volcano which last erupted violently within the last 20,000 years. An aboriginal story seems to tell of the eruption.
The National Geographic reports: 7,000 Year Old Indigenous Story Proved True
The story has been passed down for 230 generations
The Gugu Badhun people have been retelling the story of a huge explosion that rocked the Australian landscape for 230 generations. After new evidence, experts believe the 7,000-year-old epic is true.
The epic tells the story of a large explosion that created a massive crater in the ground. The explosion or eruption filled the air with a thick dust, the air turned hot, and fire ran along the river.
The legend first documented in the 1970s is believed to be the story of the Kinrara volcano erupting.
Australia isn’t a volcanically active nation anymore, but early Australia was explosive. The Kinrara volcano in Queensland shows off its burns with 55 km lava flows visible across the ground.
The volcano, Kinrara rocked Australia 9 million years ago and was responsible for more than 400 eruptions. One of Australia’s youngest volcanos, Kinrara is believed to be the volcano mentioned in the 7,000-year-old Indigenous story.
