Mt Arapiles is a magnet for climbers from around the world.  Mt Arapiles was named by the first European to climb it, the early explorer Major Mitchell,
its Aboriginal name is Dyurrait.  Tooan State includes an Aboriginal sacred site and a cave high in a cliff face
where the bushranger (outlaw) Captain Melville used to stash his loot.

Over the past several million years, Victoria has experienced considerable volcanic activity.  Whilst the mountains formed aren't high the lava flows were considerable.

Rock walls to farmers fields throughout large parts of Victoria testify to volcanic flows.  In the distance is the Great Dividing range which is a much older mountain formation.  Water levels are low as drought continues on, but signs of green appear in the fields from recent light rains.  Just to the North of Melbourne this is lovely country.
