Mt Tinbeerwah, a 265m high mountain which is a volcanic plug remaining from volcanic activity millions of years ago, situated a few kilometres to the west of Noosa in Queensland. This entire area, stretching from the New South Wales boundary in the south [Mt Warning] and as far as Murgon in the north, with Toowoomba and Dalby on the western side, is all part of the greater Moreton Clarence Basin geological area. The composition of the rocks that you will find in these areas are rhyolite, basalt, agglomerate and trachyte.The mountain is a volcanic intrusion into the surrounding Myrtle Creek Sandstone which consists of sandstone, shales, siltstone, conglomerates and coal. Over the years the surrounding area of softer rock was eroded away and the mountain was left as it was of a much harder igneous rocks.
