Climb the Glass House Mountains on the Sunshine Coast
The Glass House Mountains National Park is noted for its distinctive craggy peaks that tower above the surrounding landscape.
Formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago, these ancient rocky outcrops are of special significance to the Gubbi Gubbi Aboriginal people.
The Mount Ngungun summit walking track is a 2.8 kilometre trail that begins in open forest and offers great views of Mount Tibrogargan, Mount Coonowrin and Mount Beerwah from the summit. Don't forget to pack your camera as you'll find a 360 degree panoramic view of the coast and hinterland when you reach the top!

Here are some cuts from a recent Aerial Shoot. Shot with the Sony F3 Above the Glasshouse Mountains North of Brisbane, This was shot as part of an upcoming Promo video for a client.
Craggy volcanic peaks tower over a scenic patchwork of pine plantations, bushland and cultivated fields. Many of the peaks are protected in Glass House Mountains National Park, while the pine plantations and a range of native vegetation types are managed in several State forests and forest reserves near the park.
Named by James Cook during his epic voyage along Australia's east coast, the Glass Houses are rhyolite plugs formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago. Remnants of the open eucalypt woodland and heath vegetation, which once covered the coastal plains, provide a home for an interesting variety of animals and plants, including 26 near threatened plant species.
The Glass House Mountains area was a special meeting place where many Aboriginal people gathered for ceremonies and trading. This place is considered spiritually significant with many ceremonial sites still present

#visitsunshinecoast They're one of the most quintessential landmarks on the Sunshine Coast - eleven peaks that rise dramatically from the coastal plains. Their beauty caught the attention of Captain James Cook in 1770 who named them the Glass House Mountains because they reminded him of glass furnaces back in Yorkshire. Formed over 26 million years ago, these volcanic plugs are spiritually significant to the local Aboriginal people and are listed on the Queensland and National Heritage Registers as a landscape of national significance. The peaks are known as Mount Beerburrum, Mount Beerwah, Mount Coochin, Mount Coonowrin (Crookneck), Mount Elimbah (The Saddleback), Mount Ngungun, Mount Tibberoowuccum, Mount Tibrogargan, Mount Tunbubudla (The Twins), Wild Horse Mountain (Round Mountain) and Mount Miketeebumulgrai. Remnants of open eucalypt woodland and heath vegetation can be found in the park which is home to a variety of animals and plants. For great views, head to the lookout in Beerburrum State Forest or take on one of the peaks. There are a range of walking trails, ranging in difficulty, that can be found in various locations throughout the National Park. The summit routes on Mounts Ngungun and Tibrogargan are also suitable for roped sports for experienced and well-equipped climbers.

THE GEOLOGY OF THE GLASS HOUSE MOUNTAINS
The question is often put, “are the Glasshouse Mountains the remnants of old volcanoes?” the short answer is no, as they are magma intrusions that were formed and matured underground some 25 million years ago in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland, Australia.

우문디에서 장을 보고 호주 동부 내륙으로 좀 더 들어가 글래스하우스 산맥을 찾았다. 다음날 해가 떠오르기도 전에 숙소를 나섰다. 글래스하우스 산을 오르는 새벽 산행을 감행했다. 한 시간쯤 올랐을까? “글래스하우스에 오신 것을 환영합니다” 일출을 기다리는 사람들이다. “글래스하우스를 오르면서 운동을 할 수 있다는 것은 정말 행운인거 같아요. 이런 풍경에 차분해지고 기분이 정말 좋아지는 것 같습니다” 글래스하우스 산맥은 넓게 펼쳐진 해안 평원 한가운데 멋지게 솟아 있는 13 개의 화산 봉우리들이다. 독특한 모습으로 각각 떨어져 서 있다. 이곳에서 바라보는 일출은 황홀 그 자체다. 죽기 전에 꼭 봐야 할 자연 절경에 선정되기도 한 글래스하우스 산맥. 약 300m 내외의 산봉우리 위에 서면 고요하고 고독한 화산들이 서로 마주 보는 모습을 볼 수 있다. 수십만 년 동안 풍화작용을 겪은 흔적이 역력하다. “이 글래스하우스 산은 1770년에 제임스 쿡선장이 배를 타고 지나가다가 5월 17일에 이 산을 발견하고 산이 굉장히 친숙하게 느껴졌고 그의 고향인 영국의 요크셔의 집에 있는 유리로 된 가구들이 생각나서 글래스하우스 마운틴이라고 부르게 되었다고 합니다” 영국탐험가 제임스쿡에 의해 온실이라 이름 붙여진 화산봉우리들은 선샤인코스트의 열대 과일 농장 지대를 굽어보며 우뚝 솟아 있다. 이 비경을 카메라에 담아본다. 거칠고 도전적인 글래스하우스 산맥. “안 무서워요?” “네 무서워요. 지금 알아차렸는데 굉장히 높네요” “자유로움을 느껴요 전부 초록색이잖아요. 특히 이쪽 방향은 집이나 건물들이 전혀 지어져 있지 않아서 이런 풍경은 매일 볼 수 있는 게 아니니까 정말 사랑스러워요.”

I watched the chapel from Woomindi and went inland to the eastern part of Australia to find the Glasshouse Mountains. I left the hotel the next day before the sun came up. I went to the mountain house to climb the glass house mountain. Was it an hour or so? Welcome to the Glass House is the people waiting for sunrise. I feel very fortunate to be able to work out as I climb the glass house. I feel calm in this landscape and I feel really good. The Glasshouse Mountains are 13 volcanic peaks that sprang up nicely in the middle of the wide open coastal plains. Stand apart from each other in a unique way. The sunrise from here is ecstatic. The Glass House Mountains, which have been chosen for their natural beauty, must be seen before they die. Standing on the mountain peaks of about 300m, you can see the calm and solitary volcanoes facing each other. There are signs of weathering for hundreds of thousands of years. This glass house was built in 1770 by Captain James Cook, aboard the boat, and on 17th May he found this mountain, and the mountain felt very familiar and reminded me of glass furniture in his homeland, Yorkshire, England, Mountain . The peaks, named Greenhouses by British explorer James Cook, are towering over the tropical fruit farms of the Sunshine Coast. I try to put this uniqueness into the camera. Rugged and challenging Glass House Mountains. Are not you scared? Yes, I'm scared. I noticed it now, but it is very high. I feel free. It's all green. Especially this direction is not really built houses and buildings, so I can not see this kind of landscape everyday. It is so lovely.

Glass House Mountains and Twin Waters
Our trip at the Sunshine Coast started from Brisbane. We drove along the shore to Shorncliffe, Woody-Point, Redcliffe and Scarborough. We also went to the Glass House Mountains National Park and walked up to the top of the Beerburrum Mountain. Our destination for the day was the Novotel Twin Waters Resort.

The Glass House Mountains are a group of thirteen hills that rise abruptly from the coastal plain on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. The highest hill is Mount Beerwah at 556 meters above sea level, but the most identifiable of all the hills are Mount Tibrogargan, 364 metres, which from some directions appears to be a face staring out to sea.
Mount Ngungun, 253 metres consists of sub-volcanic rock, also known as a hypabyssal rock, an intrusive rock emplaced at medium-to-shallow depths within the crust and has intermediate grain size, and often porphyritic texture between that of volcanic and plutonic rocks.
Mount Ngungun and the Glass House Mountains are located near Beerburrum State Forest and Old Gympie Road. From Brisbane, follow the Bruce Highway north, take the Glass House Mountains tourist drive turn-off and follow the signs to the Glass House Mountains. The trip is about one hour and eleven minutes from Brisbane.
The Volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains rise dramatically from the surrounding Sunshine Coast landscape. They were formed by intrusive plugs, remnants of volcanic activity that occurred 26, 27 million years ago. Molten rock filled small vents or intruded as bodies beneath the surface and solidified into land rocks. Millions of years of erosion have removed the surrounding exteriors of volcanic cores and softer sandstone rock.
Whilst the traditional names for the hills themselves are very old, the term 'Glasshouse Mountains' was given more recently by explorer Captain James Cook on 17 May 1770. The peaks reminded him of the glass furnaces in his home county of Yorkshire. Matthew Flinders explored the area and climbed Mount Beerburrum after sailing along Pumicestone Passage in 1799. The Glass House Mountains National Landscape was added to the Australian National Heritage List on 3 August 2006. In the land between the peaks, pineapple and poultry farming, as well as commercial forestry and quarrying are the main land uses.
In 2009 as part of the Queensland 150th celebrations, the Glass House Mountains was announced as one of the Q150 Icons of Queensland for its role as a Natural attraction.
The range was formed as molten lava cooled to form hard rock in the cores of volcanoes 26-27 million years ago. The source of the lava was from the East Australian hotspot. The cores of the hills contain columns of comendite from lava which cools quickly into a hard rock. The surrounding softer rocks have been eroded in the subsequent time, forming the spectacular volcanic plugs that remain today. The peaks' location relative to each other exhibits an alignment that is believed to have occurred due to fracturing. Similar to what is currently occurring now in Hawaii.
Each of the peaks is protected within the Glass House Mountains National Park. Some of the peaks display vertical columns, particularly Mount Coonowrin, 377 metres, Mount Ngungun, 253 metres and Mount Beerwah, 555 metres at the Organ Pipes. These columns are the result of lava contraction. Scattered throughout the hills are shallow caves which have been formed by wind erosion on rocks that were softened by groundwater. The peaks are culturally significant to the traditional owners, the Gubbi Gubbi people. Under a native title claim, access to the peaks could be restricted as they are considered spiritual places. To the south-east of the Glass House Mountains, the township is an Aboriginal bora ring. The names of each mountain in the range are:
Mount Beerburrum 278 metres
Mount Beerwah 556 metres
Mount Coochin 235 metres
Mount Coonowrin or Crookneck or Fake big 377 metres
Mount Elimbah or The Saddleback 129 metres
Mount Ngungun 253 metres
Mount Tibberoowuccum 220 metres
Mount Tibrogargan 364 metres
Mount Tunbubudla or the Twins 312 and 293 metres
Wild Horse Mountain or Round Mountain 123 metres
Mount Miketeebumulgrai 199 metres
