Home to the distinctive Wollumbin Mount Warning, a remnant central vent of an ancient volcano, Wollumbin National Park is a place of great sacred significance to the Bundjalung indigenous people. Said to mean ‘cloud catcher’ in local indigenous language, the peak of Wollumbin rises to a towering height of 1,157m above sea level and is a much-loved landmark by photographers and artists Note: A closure of the Wollumbin Summit track is in place at the time of publication until the end of March 2022 (minimum). This is due to COVID-19 social distancing requirements, subsequent public safety risks, and to allow consultation with the Aboriginal community and other key stakeholders regarding the future management of this site. For up-to-date advice on visiting Wollumbin National Park, please go to nationalparks.nsw.gov.au Looking for an instagram moment? The impressive peak of Wollumbin Mt Warning can be viewed from all across the Tweed region. We recommend researching and finding vantage points on Duranbah Rd (opposite Tropical Fruit World), at Crams Farm (part of Clarrie Hall Dam), or at the Pinnacles Lookout in the Border Ranges NP.
