Mount Greenock

37 12 04S 143 43 42E (external link); 7623-4-2 (Talbot) 419791. 3 km SE of Talbot. Mount Greenock Road.		Mt Greenoch (January 2004)
Talbot and Clunes.
Much of the area is public land in grazing lease. Private land at base, outcrop of lava and scoria.
Type 9:	Composite cone of scoria overlying lava flows.
	This is a tall scoria cone with a broad shallow crater open to the northwest. In the crater are blocks and bombs of scoriaceous basalt. Long lava flows extend both north and south from the cone. The flow to the north has been eroded by McCallum Creek which is a lateral stream. On the eastern base of the cone, the stream valley exposes a lava flow and underlying sedimentary rocks. The lava flow and the scoria cone overlie the Greenock lead (a buried valley with auriferous gravels). A line of mine tailing and abandoned mining relics occur on the margins of the lava flow.
	390+ m; 105 m.
State:	This is an outstanding example of a volcano and lava flow associated with a deep lead. It is one of the few large scoria cones on public land and contains abundant outcrop and morphological evidence of its volcanic origin. It has the potential for extensive educational use in earth and social science study.
Class 2:	Roadworks and built structures on the scoria cone would detract from the significant elements of the site. No quarrying or earthworks should be permitted.
