About MOUNT WARNING
Mount Warning is a mountain close to the town of Murwillumbah, near the border with Queensland and New South Wales. It is also known as Wollumbin, being the mythological name of the creator of the volcano (Wollumbin means 'a turkey', which builds mounds, the name being an allusion to the volcano) in the language of the local indigenous population, the Ngarakwal Nganduwal Aborigines, who have often been associated with the Bundjalung people of Iluka.
The name 'Mount Warning' was given to the mountain in May 1770 by Lieutenant James Cook who sailed past it in the Endeavour's voyage along the eastern coastline. He named it and Point Danger for a dangerous shoal about 5 miles off Point Danger, from which the mountain bore ''South-West by West''.
Mount Warning is the central remnant of an ancient shield volcano, the Tweed Volcano, formerly twice the height of the current mountain, which erupted 23 million years ago. The erosion caldera formed since this eruption is easily visible around the summit and forms the rim of the Tweed Valley.
