Toolbrunup is among the highest peaks in the Stirling Ranges of Australia. Toolbrunup is made from sediments deposited during the Ediacaran Period and later metamorphosed to quartzites and shales. These formation rocks were later folded during basement rock movement.

The first European to climb the peak was Ensign Robert Dale,[2] who did so in 1832 when he passed through the area. John Septimus Roe did the same three years later and the botanist James Drummond followed in the 1840s and returned several times to collect and identify plants in the area.[3]

The traditional owners of the area are the Minang[4] and Koreng peoples.[5] Toolbrunup shares its name with Lake Toolbrunup and the name is thought to mean "the place that has water when all else is dry".[6]

Toolbrunup es el tercer pico más alto de la Cordillera Stirling de Australia, el segundo pico más alto es Pyungoorup. El camino a la cima del Toolbrunup es considerado como el mejor en la Cordillera Stirling. Las vistas desde la cima son excelentes, ya que existen varios afloramientos rocosos muy llamativos que proveen un paisaje espectacular. Toolbrunup está compuesto de sedimentos depositados durante el período Ediacariano y más tarde se metamorfosearon a cuarcitas y esquistos. Esas formaciones de rocas fueron plegadas posteriormente durante el movimiento de las rocas en las estructuras subterráneas.
