Mount Cottrell is a very large locality west-southwest of Melbourne, Victoria shared by the Shire of Melton in the north and the City of Wyndham in the south. It is mainly privately owned open land. It is named after the 200m high mountain it encompasses, called Mt. Cottrell. Mt. Cottrell is a volcanic cone formed by the radial eruption of numerous lava tongues, the most massive of the Werribee Plains volcanoes. The mountain was purchased by the Shire of Melton in 2007 to preserve the significant geological and flora and fauna values on the site.
