Cattle Station Hill is representative of the numerous smooth, steep, domal hills that are typical of the Central Hills and Plains lava fields between Creswick and Maryborough. The area lies adjacent to Mount Kooroocheang (formerly Smeaton Hill. This region has the highest concentration of scoria volcanoes in the Newer Volcanics Province and comprises a geological and geomorphological unit unique in Australia.
The area lies over a deep lead system and there are strong visible reminders of nineteenth century mining endeavours in the form of shafts, mine head structures, pump houses and mine tailings (dumps). This type of mining activity was a direct consequence of the volcanism as the gold-bearing alluvial gravels had been buried by lava flows and volcanic ejecta.
