Three volcanic hills in the Brisbane Ranges National Park which covers part of the Brisbane Ranges.
The nearby village of Anakie is located 35 km NNW of 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.
