Mount Airly is a rugged sandstone plateau rising within the Mugii Murum-ban State Conservation Area (NSW). Dominated by pagoda country and rocky outcrops, it offers expansive views over the surrounding Capertee Valley and plateau landscapes and is a destination for experienced bushwalkers and landscape explorers seeking rugged, off-track terrain.

Mt Airly was mined in the late 1800s and early 1900s for oil shale which was transported by tramway to the Oil Works as Torbane. A coal mine is operating just to the west of Mt Airly.

There are many relics from the shale oil mining period on the eastern slopes of Mt Airly making the area archaeologically significant and sensitive.

The many exposed outcrops and pagodas on Mt Airly offer fantastic views including the old Torbane Oil Works to the west.
