The History of the Caldera
Millions of years ago volcanic action created a shield shaped landform that stretched from Canungra in the north,
west to Kyogle and Ballina to the south.
At nearly 2,000m high this Shield Volcano was almost twice the present height of Mount Warning (1157m) its remnant
magna chamber.After 20 million years of wind and rain carving out a huge bowl , the Mt Warning Shield Volcano is now
a landform of both scienic and natural international significance.
The high rainfall and rich volcanic soils have produced ancient Gondwanic Rainforests that still stand today in the
five surrounding World Heritage Listed National Parks. For thousands of years the Nganduwal tribal group lived as
hunters-gatherers in this bountiful land until the cedar-getters arrived in 1844. The discovery of the 'red-gold'
blazed the way for European settlement with selectors arriving in 1866. The district began to evolve into an agricultural
area with sugar cane flourishing by the 1880's and settlements establishing along the Tweed River. Since then Dairy
Farming, Cattle Grazing, and Bananas helped to establish the Tweed as a prosperous area. Since WW2, tourism has emerged
as a major industry the Tweed remaining one of the world's foremost scenic beauty spots.
