Wollumbin National Park, Ancient volcanic peak in New South Wales, Australia.

The mountain reaches an elevation of 964 meters and stands as a central feature within a 24-square-kilometer protected natural area of subtropical rainforest.

Captain James Cook identified the mountain during his 1770 Endeavour expedition, marking it as a navigational reference point for maritime hazards along the coast.

The name Wollumbin originates from indigenous Bundjalung language, carrying the meaning of cloud catcher in reference to the peak's interaction with weather patterns.

The national park provides marked walking paths through subtropical rainforest sections, with access routes starting from the town of Murwillumbah.

The geological formation represents the central volcanic plug of an extinct shield volcano, which dates back to the Miocene epoch period.
