Yes, what volcano is this? I found all of these pines growing on the side and rim of a Volcano.

Re: What VOLCANO is this?
I don't suppose it's Airly Volcano? (Bit of a wild guess, I know)

Isn't that where they tested the H bombs?
No wonder your having trouble identifying the pines

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: What VOLCANO is this?
If you were in Victoria I would guess Mt Schank but I don't know any of the ones there.
PS. If it were Mt Schank the pines woud be either P radiata or P pinea (unlikely because of growth pattern). Both these pines are used for the extensive forestry industry here.

Re: What VOLCANO is this?
Mt Schank is correct but when we visited it was still in SA. Pines 1 and 2 were on Mt Schank and pine 3 was at nearby Mount Gambier. Mt Schank was GREAT and well worth a visit and climb. We walked all around the rim in no tim at all; its not all that big but it is the most recent vocano in Australia at about 5,000 years old.krazykangaroo wrote:If you were in Victoria I would guess Mt Schank but I don't know any of the ones there.

I am familiar with radiata and halipensis to identify them but pine 2 was unknown to me.
Anyhow the point of the exercise was to say there are pines out there for the digging all around Australia(although not in Nat Parks of course). I saw some wicked pines in SA and Vic over the last few months.
Pity we don't have them growing in Alpine areas hey.
