Google Maps - I had seen my local street map in Melbourne before but this time I looked at the area I grew up in - Derrinallum.
For those unsure about the location of this small town it is in south western Victoria on the Glenelg Highway. The most notable feature of Derrinallum is Mt Elephant which makes up part of the volcanic plains of the western district. On Google Maps you can see the perfect volcanic cone and also the breach, or saddle, of the volcano when it erupted. Also around the area are some white striations across the satellite image which I'm not sure what these are - could be the "stoney rises" which is also a feature of the volcanic activity of the area. Quite fascinating!
