Mount Warning National Park offers a remarkable experience on Australia's east coast. This eroded shield volcano, once over 100km wide and 2000m high, now features the 1159m peak of Mount Warning. The summit provides breathtaking 360-degree views. Since 1909, millions have trekked the 9km trail to witness sunrise. Controversy has arisen over public access due to political concepts, with some advocating for closure on cultural grounds. However, many Aboriginal groups, including the Ngarakwal People with a strong connection, support public access. This guide celebrates the park and highlights misconceptions about its management.
