At 1,544 metres (5,066 ft) above sea level, it is one of the higher points in Barrington Tops National Park,[1] some 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Sydney.

The peak is at the edge of the Barrington Tops plateau, within the declared wilderness of the World Heritage Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.

During the Eocene Period, a large basalt flow covered most of the nearby plateau.

Below are older Permian Granodiorites and Devonian-Carboniferous sedimentary rocks, such as mudstones, siltstones, minor conglomerates and limestones.

Other interesting plants nearby include the snow gum, southern sassafras and broad-leaved pepperbush.
