GUID (UUID V4):

Three volcanic hills near the town of Anakie which is located 35 km NNW of Geelong. Located immediately north of the township of Anakie, which lies within the local government area of the "City of Greater Geelong". The hills are scoria cones and contain lherzolite and other xenoliths (including granitic rocks which underlie the volcanoes). There are substantial quarry operations on the two southern cones with the southernmost cone destined for almost complete removal.
