The Mount Elephant Community Management Inc is involved in the restoration of Mount Elephant, located at Derrinallum, Victoria.
Mount Elephant is a steep sided volcanic scoria cone. It was formed about 20,000 years ago and is one of the highest volcanoes in Victoria, rising 240 metres above the surrounding plain. The area for several kilometres around consists of stony rises of more solid basalt of about the same age.
This emerged from numerous vents and flowed in many directions as molten rivers of rock until they finally cooled. This dammed the old creek lines to form the numerous lakes in the district.
The group is undertaking revegetation projects, weed and rabbit control programs.
