About Mount Warning

Mount Warning (officially renamed Wollumbin in 2021 to reflect its Indigenous heritage) is a small rural locality in the Tweed Shire of northern New South Wales, located approximately 12 kilometres south-west of Murwillumbah. With a population of around 148 residents, the locality is nestled within the ancient volcanic caldera of the Tweed Volcano, one of the largest extinct shield volcanoes in the world. The area is surrounded by lush subtropical rainforest and sits beneath the iconic volcanic plug of Wollumbin.

The locality is a haven for nature lovers, with Wollumbin National Park — part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia World Heritage Area — attracting hikers and wildlife enthusiasts year-round. The community has a strong alternative lifestyle character, with organic farms, artist studios, and eco-retreats common in the hinterland. Murwillumbah serves as the nearest service centre, offering shops, schools, and medical facilities. The Tweed Valley's fertile soils support small-scale horticulture, and the area is popular with those seeking a peaceful hinterland retreat close to the Gold Coast and Byron Bay regions.

Mount Warning falls under postcode 2484 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Tweed electorate.
