Mount Chincogan (/ɪnˈkɡən/)[1] is located northwest of Mullumbimby, New South Wales, Australia and west of Ocean Shores. It is part of a large shield volcano Mount Warning (Wollumbin) which erupted millions of years ago. It was originally a lava plug of the Tweed Volcano along with Mt Warning which have eroded at a much slower rate than the surrounding remnants.[citation needed]

It is on the land of the Bundjalung (Arakwal) people and is a sacred women's site.[2]

Origin of place name

The name Chincogan is thought to have been derived from a Yugambeh–Bundjalung languages word Thuncogin which is said to mean 'low behind and high in front' although, more specifically it is said to mean 'northward facing male genitals. It is thought that the mountain is likely to have been a fertility site.[1][3]
