Visit Tweed Valley for a glimpse of mighty Wollumbin

When you first catch a glimpse of Wollumbin, the remains of the epic Tweed Volcano in Australia, you'll stop dead in your tracks with awe. The sacred and spiritual ground, which is also referred to as Mt. Warning, stands at a looming 3,793 feet (1,156 m) and has reigned over the territory for 3 million years. And if you really want to make the most of your locum tenens assignment, then take a special trip to get as up close and personal as possible.

In the winter, this stunning site catches the sun's rays first, making it a powerfully memorable place to venture for an early morning hike. Not only will you catch the brilliant Land Down Under sun, you'll get to see 360-degree views of the Tweed Valley and surrounding coastline around Mt. Warning.

The twisting road brings you along mountain trails and through steep paths guiding you into deep, green valleys. The trickiest part of the trek arrives once you hit Breakfast Creek, which resides at the base of the mountain. But the battle to the top is worth it once you look over the peak and watch streams of sunlight cover the hundreds of acres of land below.
