Description
Valley Lake, Mount Gambier, South Australia, 1886. Mount Gambier, first seen by European settlers in 1800, is thought to have been the first geographical feature in South Australia to be identified by Europeans. It was named for the British admiral James Gambier. The aboriginal name for it was Erengbalam (place of the eaglehawk). The Mount Gambier complex of maar volcanoes was formed about 4,900 years ago. A maar volcano's crater may have very little of a built-up rim, and is often filled with water. Wood engraving from 'Picturesque Atlas of Australasia, Vol II', by Andrew Garran, illustrated under the supervision of Frederic B Schell, (Picturesque Atlas Publishing Co, 1886).
