Burning Mountain is a feature near Wingen, New South Wales, Australia, approximately 300km north of Sydney just off the New England Highway. It takes its name from a naturally combusting coal seam running underground through the sandstone. Scientists estimate that Australia's Burning Mountain, the oldest known coal fire, has burned for 6,000 years.
