Mount Maroon

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.
