    The Mount Hypipamee Crater, also known as The Crater.
    The Hypipamee crater is also referred to as a volcanic pipe. The pipe was opened upward through surface rocks by gas produced from molten rock below and as a result of tremendous pressure, the vent exploded sending volcanic bombs far across the landscape. It has a diameter of 61 metres at the water level which is 58 metres below the platform. Even 85 metres below the water surface, the pipe hasn’t lost any of its dimensions, the surface is covered with a green layer of native waterweed.

    A remarkable variety of vegetation types, including high-altitude rainforest, grow in this small park.
