Mount Chincogan

Mount Chincogan is located northwest of Mullumbimby, New South Wales, Australia and west of Ocean Shores. It was part of a large shield volcano Mount Warning (Wollumbin) which erupted about 12 million years ago. It is a remnant of the crater wall of a large vent of the Volcano. The curvature of the crater wall is more obvious when viewed from the south and east, e.g. Cape Byron and Brunswick Heads.
It is on the land of the Bundjalung people and is a sacred women's site.

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.
