N2  - The young volcanoes of the Australian mainland are made up of the Newer Volcanic Province of Victoria and southeast South Australia (NVP), and a number of separate provinces in far north Queensland. These volcanic fields are similar in age, and in their numerous scattered scoria and lava cones, extensive basalt flows, and maar/tuff ring eruptions of phreatic origin. Australian volcanologists and seismologists now agree that youthful ages imply the possibility of further activity. A risk and hazard map for the NVP (Joyce 2005) demonstrates that volcanic activity must be considered a serious environmental hazard and risk for the Australian mainland.
