Mount Warning, Shield volcano in New South Wales, Australia.
Mount Warning rises 1156 meters above sea level, forming the central peak of an eroded caldera within the Tweed Range of northeastern New South Wales.
Lieutenant James Cook marked this mountain on naval maps in 1770, designating it as the first visible landmark for ships approaching the coastline.
The Bundjalung people name this mountain Wollumbin and maintain traditional protocols restricting access to the summit for ceremonial and spiritual purposes.
The return hiking trail extends 8.8 kilometers through dense forest terrain, requiring solid footwear and water supplies for the steep climbing sections.
This mountain stands as the central plug of an ancient volcano that erupted 23 million years ago, creating the largest erosion caldera in the Southern Hemisphere.
