Mount Barney
Mount Barney rises majestically above the surrounding farmlands in Mt Barney National Park on the Queensland and New South Wales border. These rugged peaks are the remains of the ancient Focal Peak Shield Volcano which erupted 24 million years ago.
Mt Barney is the second highest peak in south-east Queensland and has some very rare and unique plants. The town of Rathdowney is closest, 15 km to the northeast. This spectacular park became part of the World Heritage Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves in 1994.
Surrounding the twin peaks of Mount Barney are numerous mountains, steep valleys, caves, deep rock pools and woodland forest.
