My schooling taught me that Australia* doesn't have have any volcanoes.

Not so

"Big Ben is a volcanic massif that dominates the geography of Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. It is a composite cone with a diameter of approximately 25 kilometres. Its highest peak is Mawson Peak, which is 2,745 m above sea level. Much of it is covered by ice, including 14 major glaciers which descend from Big Ben to the sea. Big Ben is the highest mountain in Australian Territory."

*I suppose if "on the Australian continent" is the context, then my schooling was correct.
