Early explorers thought Burning Mountain was a volcano, although it is actually a naturally burning coal seam, one of very few in the world. It is thought to have been smoking away for over 5500 years.
Magnificent views of the Hunter Valley and Wingen Maid Nature Reserve, gives great photo opportunities.
After a short pleasant walk, you can look down from the viewing platform into the vents where the smoke emerges.
