About Wollumbin National Park

A sunrise hike to the top of Mt. Warning, the world's largest extinct shield volcano, rewards the visitor with a view of the first rays of sunlight to hit the Australian mainland. Mt Warning and the surrounding rainforest starred as the feature location of the animated filmFernGully: The Last Rainforest(1992). The name Mt Warning was given by Captain Cook in May 1770 during his voyage up the east coast of Australia - as a landmark to warn of the reefs that lie to the north. To the local Aboriginal Bundjalung community it is known as Wollumbin. Wollumbin National Park includes the former Mount Warning National Park (the parks were combined in August 2009). Under Bundjalung traditional law, only certain people can climb Wollumbin, so consider choosing to respect their wishes before you climb
