SOTA: Mount Rouse VK3/VS-048


Mt Rouse, in Western Victoria, is an extinct volcano that is now 367 metres above sea level at the summit. When it was active, its lava flows extended 60km's to the sea at the current coastal township of Port Fairy.

As it is relatively low in height, it only rates 1 point for SOTA activation, however it has fantastic views, and is an easy activation. The car park is only about 100 metres down from the summit, with the final ascent up a flight of steps.
