The largest shield volcano in the world is Mauna Loa in Hawaii - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_volcano#Structure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_volcano#Structure)

I think the correct answer is Wollumbin Mount Warning

Much of this spectacular landscape has its origins in the world's largest extinct shield volcano, Wollumbin Mount Warning, and large areas of the now extinct caldera are protected as National Parks and Nature Reserves.

http://au.totaltravel.yahoo.com/promotions/australia/nsw/northern-rivers10/nature/

Yes, I agree fashionista78. I was just about to post the same thing. I believe that Wollumbin Mount Warning, or simply Mount Warning, is the correct answer.
