Now the remnants of a volcano, Mount Barrington, formerly the Barrington Volcano, erupted near its present peak between 44 and 54 million years ago. The eruption caused a {{convert|700|km3|adj=on}} basalt flow, which covered much of the Barrington Tops plateau. The lava was up to {{convert|1000|m}} thick. The extensive rainforests in the area grow on much of the resultant red/brown soils.[2][3] Gemstones such as zircon, sapphire and ruby were formed from the volcano.[4] Nearby Careys Peak is considered a vent in this extinct shield volcano. The surrounding area is covered by sub alpine Snow Gum woodland, with rainforest on the escarpment edge and in fire free gullies. See also{{stack|{{portal|New South Wales|Mountains}}}}
