Mt Warning National Park lies just South-West of Murwillumbah in Northern New South Wales. The mountain is very popular for both scenic and historical reasons. It's Aboriginal name is "Wollumbin" which means "Cloud catcher or weather maker".No name could be more appropriate as the region is frequently wet and the pinnacle is often enveloped by mist and cloud, even when the rest of the sky is clear. The route up the mountain is mainly a track but many people find the track somewhat more tiring than the other tracks in nearby areas such as Lamington National Park.
The last few hundred metres involves a scramble up a deeply eroded gully, a chain has been provided for some assistance. The walk itself is 8.8 kilometers and takes about 4 hours to complete, unfortunately for us Mt Warning had been living up to it's Aboriginal name today and provided us with absolutely no views whatsoever. Never mind we had a cuppa and rest instead as I was soaking wet with perspiration before making our way back to the car and finish this great day over a mugachinno and french fries before taking t
hat long drive back home again.
