The highlight of Wollumbin National Park is the awe-inspiring Mount Warning, known as Wollumbin to the Aboriginal people. Embarking on the Mount Warning Summit Walk is a challenging yet rewarding experience. This 9-kilometer return trek takes you through ancient Gondwana rainforest, showcasing a rich diversity of flora and fauna. As you ascend, the trail becomes steeper, and the views become increasingly more spectacular. The final parts of the trail are very steep, and chains are required to haul yourself to the top. This section is not for the faint of heart. All the effort is certainly worth it, and the view from the summit is breathtaking.
