Volcanoes Discovery Centre Penshurst Vic Australia
Southern Grampians - Hamilton
Visit Hamilton, Victoria's first area of pastoral settlement, and experience the heartbeat of a thriving farming district. The regional city retains the feel of a grand old country town. But with a vibrant arts scene, retail shopping, delicious food and wine and stylish accommodation, Hamilton is layered with a modern day appeal.
Heading down south is a fantastic way to experience the great outdoors. Take a casual stroll around the arboretum in Dunkeld where you can take in spring wildflowers and soak up the spectacular views of the Piccaninny, Mount Abrupt and Mount Sturgeon.
If you feel like getting a little more up close and personal, strap on the hiking boots and head for the hills. Take on the mountain trails and enjoy majestic views of the Grampians National Park.
Penshurst’s fiery past is sure to fascinate. Wander up a dormant volcano and learn more about the region at the Penshurst Volcanoes Discovery Centre. Step a few thousand years forward when you explore the Settler’s Walk in Cavendish and hear the story of its pioneers.
With vines for days, the Henty Wine Region offers plenty of opportunities to stop and sample some of Victoria’s best wines at boutique wineries. And make sure to leave some room in the boot so you can take some home for later!

Melbourne Warnings of Volcanic Eruptions
Scientists are now warning that volcanoes in Western Victoria and South Australia are due to erupt.
The prediction comes just hours after two earthquakes hit the state this morning.
Using new dating techniques, University of Melbourne scientists have found that the volcanoes usually erupt every 2000 years, with the last eruption at Mt Gambier, South Australia, 5000 years ago.
Earth sciences Professor Bernie Joyce says Australia needs a plan in case of an eruption.
It comes as Victorians are warned to brace themselves for more tremors after a shallow magnitude quake hit at 11.32am, sending shockwaves through towns and suburbs more than 100 kilometres away.
A series of tremors lasting up to 15 seconds have been felt across Melbourne's CBD and southeastern suburbs.
A second, smaller quake shook Korumburra, with reports it was again felt in Melbourne, at 12.37pm
Senior seismologist Clive Collins said people should prepare for aftershocks in the coming hours.
There will be aftershocks, that's a certainty, he told the Herald Sun.
We still expect lots of smaller ones.
After the last significant quake in Victoria there were more than 200 aftershocks.
The tremors shook Melbourne office buildings and many homes across the state, including Warragul, Ferntree Gully, Sunbury and as far north as Melbourne Airport.
Geosciences Australia said the centre had received more than 300 reports from people who felt the quake.

Mt. Kooroocheang is a composite scoria/lava volcano 14km northeast of Creswick, Victoria. At 230m high it is one of the largest volcanoes in Central Victoria.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
Sydney ( (listen)) is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia and Oceania. Located on Australia's east coast, the metropolis surrounds Port Jackson and extends about 70 km (43.5 mi) on its periphery towards the Blue Mountains to the west, Hawkesbury to the north, and Macarthur to the south. Sydney is made up of 658 suburbs, 40 local government areas and 15 contiguous regions. Residents of the city are known as Sydneysiders. As of June 2017, Sydney's estimated metropolitan population was 5,131,326.Indigenous Australians have inhabited the Sydney area for at least 30,000 years, and it remains one of the richest in Australia in terms of Aboriginal archaeological sites, with thousands of engravings located throughout the region. In 1770, during his first Pacific voyage in the Endeavour, Lieutenant James Cook, after leaving Botany Bay, saw the entrance to Port Jackson, but sailed past and did not enter the inlet. In 1788, the First Fleet of convicts, led by Arthur Phillip, were the first recorded Europeans to sail into Port Jackson. Here they founded Sydney as a British penal colony, the first European settlement in Australia. Phillip named the city Sydney in recognition of Thomas Townshend, 1st Viscount Sydney. Penal transportation to New South Wales ended soon after Sydney was incorporated as a city in 1842. A gold rush occurred in the colony in 1851, and over the next century, Sydney transformed from a colonial outpost into a major global cultural and economic centre. After World War II, it experienced mass migration and became one of the most multicultural cities in the world. At the time of the 2011 census, more than 250 different languages were spoken in Sydney and about 40 percent of residents spoke a language other than English at home. Furthermore, 36% of the population reported having been born overseas.Despite being one of the most expensive cities in the world, the 2018 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranks Sydney tenth in the world in terms of quality of living, making it one of the most livable cities. It is classified as an Alpha World City by Globalization and World Cities Research Network, indicating its influence in the region and throughout the world. Ranked eleventh in the world for economic opportunity, Sydney has an advanced market economy with strengths in finance, manufacturing and tourism. There is a significant concentration of foreign banks and multinational corporations in Sydney and the city is promoted as one of Asia Pacific's leading financial hubs. Established in 1850, the U ...
