With easy access to five World Heritage Listed National Parks, and numerous state forests, reserves and creeks, the Wollumbin World Heritage Region is the ideal destination for out door and nature based holidays.

Known to the aborigines as Wollumbin, Lieutenant James Cook named the central feature Mount Warning. It is the central plug of arguably the world's largest extinct shield volcano, with a diameter of about eighty kilometres, and a caldera over 1000 metres deep.
