All Things GiantsAncient Giants and Volcano: Aboriginal Legend of Budj Bim Volcano Links Nephilim to Gelology in Australia Posted on October 27, 2025 by Administrator A new scientific study shows that the Gunditjmara Aboriginal legend about the birth of Budj Bim volcano, also known as Mount Eccles, has some basis. In fact, the geologists found that the now extinct volcano near Macarthur in southwestern Victoria, Australia and another nearby volcano formed through a rapid series of eruptions about 37,000 years ago, suggesting that the myth may be the oldest story still being told today. The new study is thus an interesting proposition to think about these oral traditions that survive for tens of thousands of years.
