Mount Nebo, Mountain summit in Wollongong, Australia.
Mount Nebo rises 251 meters above sea level as part of the Illawarra Range, offering views of Lake Illawarra and the surrounding mountains.
O'Brien's Road, constructed in the early 19th century as a private toll road, established the first connection between Sydney and the Illawarra region.
The name Nebo comes from Aboriginal language, following the pattern of other geographical features in the area like Woonona Mountain and Mount Warrigal.
In 1999, vehicle access to the summit was prohibited, leading to the creation of dedicated walking tracks to O'Brien's Gap and Mount Brisbane.
The Mount Nebo Colliery operates near the base of the hill in Kemira Valley, named after the neighboring peaks Mount Kembla and Mount Keira.
