Mt Wareng is 300 hectares and fully vegetated, adjoining both the World Heritage-listed Yengo National Park and the Yengo Wilderness Area.

The property is about 115 kilometres north of Windsor and 57 km south-west of Singleton and can be accessed via the historic Howes Valley Trail, a 4WD fire trail off Putty Road, making it an easy weekend commute from Newcastle, the Central Coast or Sydney.

Befitting its wilderness character, the property protects the headwaters of the MacDonald River and features include sandstone escarpments, eucalypt forest with rainforest pockets bordered by Howes Creek. The rural land that is occupied by this property is a known refuge and habitat of the glossy black-cockatoo and gang gang cockatoo.

It also possesses significant Aboriginal cultural heritage values. According to Aboriginal legend, Mt Wareng was used by the creator Biamie as a stepping stone as he ascended to the Dreaming after creating the Earth.

Bush grazing ceased on the property in 1994, and no timber has been collected from Mt Wareng since 1978.
