Mount Warning Information

This World Heritage rainforest partk (2210 ha) is located in far north-eastern NSW and can be reached by leaving the Pacific Highway at Murwillumbah and following the Kyogle road west for 12 km. Turn onto the Mount Warning Road and travel 5 km to the Korrumbyn Creek Picnic Area at the park entrance. Proceed another 1.5 km along the road to the Breakfast Creek parking area at the base of the mountain.

Mt Warning is a volcano which covered a massive 400 square kilometres and can be found within the Mt Warning national park. Given its name by Captain Cook, it was used as a warning to sailors of the dangerous Point Danger near Tweed Heads.

Mount Warning was added to the World Heritage list in 1975. Mount Warning at the heart of the park, is the remnant central plug of the Tweed shield volcano. The 'Tweed Caldera' is one of the largest and best examples of an erosion caldera in the world.

There are good walking trails through rainforest. Observant walkers, may see a variety of birds, mammals, reptiles and many threatened plant species. The trails can be steep in parts and take roughly 5 hours; so it may be worth setting aside a day or so. Things to note are: toilets are available only at the start of the walk, suitable footwear should be worn, temperature drops rapidly as you ascend, carry plenty of water, keep to the track and take all litter with you.

There is a campsite nearby.
