About Wollumbin/Mount Warning
Wollumbin/Mount Warning is a prominent mountain peak in Wollumbin National Park in the Tweed Shire of northern New South Wales, about 14 km southwest of Murwillumbah. It is the remnant central vent of the ancient Tweed Volcano and part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area. Rising to 1,157 metres, it is notable as one of the first places on the Australian mainland to receive sunrise and for its cultural importance to the Bundjalung people.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a forested mountain reserve with subtropical rainforest, base walking tracks and viewing areas. The summit track is closed and climbing is not permitted, so access is limited to lower slopes, the Breakfast Creek car park, picnic area and the Lyrebird Track. The setting offers views of the mountain's steep forested slopes, surrounding caldera landscape and World Heritage rainforest. Information signage explains natural and cultural values. The area is quiet and natural with no summit infrastructure accessible to visitors.
