Mount Maroon is a mountain in South East Queensland that is part of the McPherson Range.
The original indigenous name for the mountain is Wahlmoorum which means sand goanna in the Yuggera language.
[4] Mount Maroon consists mainly of rhyolite and has its geological origins in the cooling of molten rock beneath the surface.
[5] The mountain contains areas of montane heath vegetation, rocky pavement and mallee ash shrublands.
[6] In early 2008 a bull mastiff named Diff made headlines when it slipped over a ledge and had to be rescued via helicopter.
