Burning Mountain near Murrurundi in NSW is pretty interesting. It’s a burning under ground coal seam with a walkway above it. Apparently it’s been burning for a LONG time - about five or six thousand years. Well worth a visit.

It was explained in a paper I read that it was in cattle yards, and what had ignited was a mixture of cattle urine and faeces on top of the ground, due to the various chemicals in it.
