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.
